I, like many others, rely heavily on the bus station at the Lehigh Valley Mall for our daily commutes to work. This issue is not unique to me alone, but also affects my coworkers and many other visitors of the shopping center, particularly those in the elderly and disabled communities who depend on public transportation for their shopping needs. With the potential removal of such an essential service, countless people will be deprived of their ability to freely travel to and from the mall, disrupting their daily routines drastically.

The Lehigh Valley Mall is a hub of activity, serving both work and leisure needs of many. According to a recent report, public transit access increases footfall in shopping areas, thus playing a vital role in the local economy. Businesses at the mall also largely benefit from the traffic that these bus services bring. The removal of the bus station would therefore significantly impact the Mall’s businesses, along with affecting the livelihoods and routines of countless individuals.

We call on the responsible authorities to reconsider their decision to remove the bus station from the Lehigh Valley Mall. Let's save the lifeline of many daily commuters, shoppers, and businesses. Please, sign this petition to show your support for keeping the bus station at the Lehigh Valley Mall.
