Last-Minute Tax Help at the Library Today

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 15, 2026

Happy Wednesday—if you’re heading toward the post office on Bustleton Pike this morning, give yourself a few extra minutes for the Tax Day rush. Once those envelopes are safely in the mail, the clear skies this afternoon are practically begging for a long walk through the neighborhood.

The Lead

Sidewalks are finally coming to the gaps along Philmont Avenue. The Lower Southampton Board of Supervisors confirmed that the "Connectivity Initiative" moves into its active phase this morning with utility marking and surveying. For years, residents have navigated the narrow, grassy shoulders between the residential blocks and the commercial center near the border of Huntingdon Valley. This project isn't just about pouring concrete; it’s about safety for the commuters walking to the Neshaminy Falls station and the kids heading to the local shops. Expect to see crews out today near the intersection of Philmont and Pine Road. While no major lane closures are expected during the surveying phase, the presence of workers on the shoulder means we should all keep our eyes up and speeds down as we pass through.

Local Pulse

  • Seed Library Now Open for Planting The Lower Southampton Library has officially launched its spring seed catalog. Residents can "borrow" heirloom vegetable and flower seeds for free, with the hope of returning saved seeds in the fall. It’s a great way to start your garden.

  • Neshaminy School Board Budget Preview District officials are holding a preliminary workshop tonight to discuss the 2026-2027 fiscal year.

  • Paving Prep on Bustleton Pike PennDOT crews are scheduled to begin milling prep work late tonight on sections of Bustleton Pike. While the heavy machinery won't arrive until after 9:00 PM, keep an eye out for temporary signage and shifted lanes that might affect your commute.

Today's Outlook

Spotlight & Story

  • Lower Southampton Fire Department
    • Since 1920, this volunteer-led organization has been the backbone of our local safety. While many towns have moved to fully paid forces, our department maintains a dedicated core of neighbors who drop everything when the siren wails. Did you know the original firehouse was a modest garage on Bustleton Pike? Today, they operate out of two modern stations, but that spirit of "neighbors helping neighbors" remains exactly the same a century later.
