New campus entrance moves step closer to reality
A lon^-discussed olan to redesien      i ——■ ——
A long-discussed plan to redesign
Seidersville Road on the Goodman
Campus recently won unanimous
approval from the Bethlehem
Planning Commission - a move that
could lead to a direct and more
scenic drive from 1-78 to the Asa
Packer campus.
The plan now goes to Bethlehem
City Counci, whose approval could
set the stage for the Lehigh trustees
to vote on the project.
Construction hinges on Lehigh's
raising $2 million to cover costs. The
city would finance minor improvements to Apple Street linking the
new road and 1-78, said Tony
Corallo, assistant vice president for
facilities services.
Under the plan, a new two-lane
road would run from William and
Apple streets west for about one
mile. The road would join an
existing section of Seidersville Road,
allowing motorists to reach Mountain Drive South and the
Mountaintop and Asa Packer
campuses. Some parts of
Seidersville Road would be eliminated; other parts would be kept
intact to provide access to homes.
The project has gone through
various state-agency review processes, Corallo said.
The concept of an east-west road
beginning at the Route 412 exit off
1-78 and running parallel to South
Mountain was first discussed in the
mid-1980s by a committee formed to
study the impact of 1-78. The
committee included representatives
from Lehigh, Bethlehem,
Hellertown, Lower Saucon Township, the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation and what is now
the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission.
"The project has been a part of
our master plan," Corallo said. The
new road, like the existing road,
would be flanked by South Mountain and the athletic fields on
Goodman Campus. "We want to
keep the area as natural as we can,"
Corallo said. "We want to create a
good first impression, particularly
for admissions recruitment."
Seidersville Road is used mainly
by local residents and as a short cut
to and from 1-78. Lehigh visitors are
diirected to exit 1-78 at Route 412,
drive south through Hellertown, get
on Mountain Drive South and pass
Stabler Arena, and then continue
over South Mountain to the Asa
Packer campus.

Seidersville Rd. (dotted line) will join Apple St. to Main Street in Hellertown.
Faculty Senate fails
The proposal to create a Faculty
Senate was defeated 135-134 with
one abstention in a mail balloting
of the faculty. More than 67
percent of the faculty voted in the
election, but a two-thirds majority
of the votes was needed for the
proposal to pass.
George Nation, associate
professor of business and law,
announced the results at the March
23 faculty meeting and said "we
will carry on from here." Those
attending the faculty meeting read
into the minutes their gratitude
and thanks for the faculty who had
worked on the proposal for more
than a year.
