Township Supervisors to Review New Trail Connectivity Plan Tonight
Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 14, 2026
Good morning—grab a light jacket for the morning commute, but you can likely leave it in the car by lunchtime. It’s a big day for local planning as the Township Supervisors gather tonight to discuss a project that could finally link our favorite green spaces with the neighborhoods that use them most.
📰 The Lead
The future of walkability in our community takes center stage tonight at the Lower Southampton Township Building. The Board of Supervisors is set to review the final draft of the "Greenway Linkage Study," a proposal that outlines a dedicated pedestrian and bicycle path connecting Playwicki Farm to the residential hubs near Bustleton Pike.
For years, residents have navigated narrow shoulders or hopped in cars for a trip that is less than a mile as the crow flies. The proposed plan includes a mix of paved multi-use trails and improved crosswalks, aiming to create a "loop" that makes weekend trips to the farm safer for families. If the board moves forward with the engineering phase tonight, we could see the first shovels in the ground by next spring. It’s a significant step toward making the township feel more like a connected community and less like a series of disconnected developments separated by busy thoroughfares.
🏙️ Local Pulse
Overnight Paving on Street Road PennDOT crews are scheduled to begin asphalt repair work on Route 132 starting at 9:00 PM tonight. Expect single-lane closures between Old Street Road and Philmont Avenue. The work is timed to wrap up by 5:00 AM tomorrow to avoid the morning rush.
Library Launches "Seed Library" Program The Lower Southampton Library is officially opening its Spring Seed Library this morning. Residents can "borrow" up to five packets of heirloom vegetable or flower seeds for free. The only catch? You’re encouraged to save seeds from your harvest to return them next year.
Neshaminy School Board Budget Workshop The district enters the final stretch of 2026-2027 budget planning this evening. While no final vote is scheduled, administrators will be presenting updated figures on facility maintenance costs for our local elementary schools.

📸 Spotlight & Story
- The Suburban Diner
- While many diners have modernized their menus into oblivion, the Suburban Diner on Street Road remains a masterclass in the classic Pennsylvania experience. Opened decades ago, it has served as the unofficial "second office" for township supervisors and the late-night sanctuary for Neshaminy graduates for generations. Did you know the diner underwent a massive interior restoration in the early 2000s to preserve its iconic neon and chrome aesthetic? It remains one of the few places where you can still get a perfect open-faced turkey sandwich at nearly any hour.
