Sunday Morning at the Farm and a Look at This Week’s Roadwork

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 19, 2026

Happy Sunday—the coffee is brewing, and if you’re heading out early, the mist over the fields at Playwicki Farm is particularly scenic this morning. It is a perfect day to log some miles on the walking trails before the Monday morning commute returns to its usual rhythm.

📰 The Lead

As we look toward the start of the work week, the Lower Southampton Township administration has provided an update on the ongoing Bustleton Pike Streetscape Project. Crews made significant progress over the weekend on the sidewalk leveling and the installation of new ADA-compliant ramps near the intersection of Street Road.

Starting tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM, residents should expect shifting lane closures between Philmont Avenue and Buck Road. While the goal is to improve pedestrian safety and aesthetic appeal through the business district, the immediate impact will be some minor delays during the morning rush. Township officials are encouraging through-traffic to utilize Old Street Road where possible to alleviate congestion. This phase of the project is expected to wrap up by Friday, weather permitting, bringing us one step closer to a more walkable downtown corridor.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Neshaminy School Board Budget Review The board is entering the final stages of the 2026-2027 fiscal year budget discussions this week. Residents are encouraged to review the proposed allocations for facilities maintenance, which include much-needed HVAC upgrades for several elementary buildings in our area.

  • Fire Department Volunteer Recruitment Drive The Lower Southampton Fire Department is actively seeking new administrative and fire-police volunteers.

  • Spring Yard Waste Collection Reminder Public Works reminds neighbors that curbside leaf and yard waste collection continues on its bi-weekly schedule.

    • A bright and clear morning will give way to some high clouds by mid-afternoon. It is a fantastic day for yard work or a car wash, though you might want a light jacket if you’re heading out for an evening walk.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • Russell Elliot Memorial Park
    • Tucked away on Buck Road, this park serves as the unofficial heartbeat of local youth sports. While many know it for the bustling baseball diamonds, the park is named in honor of a local hero, serving as a permanent reminder of community service. Did you know the land was originally part of a larger farm tract before being dedicated to public use? Today, it remains one of the best spots in the township to catch a sunset over the outfield fences.
