March 3, 2022 – The City of Allentown has partnered with Hiram W. Dodd Elementary School and South Mountain Middle School to implement changes aimed at alleviating current traffic control issues in the area.

Starting on Friday, March 4, S. Church Street will be one-way from Baker Street to Mohawk Street, continuing one-way on Mohawk Street to S. 6th St. The traffic flow will then continue so that S. Virginia Street will be one-way from Mohawk Street to S. 6th St.

These changes will be in effect during student drop off from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and student pick up from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on school days only.

Signs are now in place to modify this new traffic flow, including ‘One Way’ signs, ‘No Parking’ signs at S. Virginia and Mohawk streets to keep cars from parking at the corners of this intersection, and ‘No Stopping or Standing’ signs on the east side of S. Church Street mid-way to the Mohawk Street intersection to prevent cars from interfering with student crossing.
