State St. connecting the north and south ends of the borough and the Saucon Rail Trail.
- Community Bike Works - $440,000 for "Earn a Bike" education programs. In these programs, once students complete their classes, they earn their refurbished bike and a new helmet. Safety is taught through videos, demonstrations, and practice rides, and with the assumption that upon completing the course, students will ride their bikes on city streets.
In Earn a Bike, students learn about each system of a bike and how to properly maintain it, using the correct tools. Earn a Bike students also participate in bike safety lessons and complete a bike "rodeo" designed to show they can ride safely. Here, students take their bikes to a nearby parking lot, where they must successfully complete a series of riding skill tests that include balance at slow speeds, emergency stops, obstacle avoidance, looking back over shoulder without swerving, being predictable and communicative, and more.
