Street Road Lane Closures Begin This Morning

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 20, 2026

Happy Monday — if you are heading toward the Turnpike or commuting through the heart of town today, give yourself an extra ten minutes. The long-awaited repaving and line-striping project on Street Road kicks off this morning, and while the fresh asphalt will be a relief, the orange cones are never a welcome sight on a Monday. Grab an extra coffee and enjoy the radio; we are in for a slow crawl through the intersection of Bustleton Pike for the next few days.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors is moving forward this week with a comprehensive "Green Corridor" initiative aimed at revitalizing the public spaces along our busiest thoroughfares. Starting today, crews will begin the first phase of native landscaping installations at the entrances to our major residential pockets.

This isn't just about aesthetics; the plan utilizes deep-rooted Pennsylvania sedges and milkweed to manage stormwater runoff more effectively—a persistent headache for those living near the lower elevations of the township. By replacing high-maintenance turf grass with these native meadows, the township expects to cut annual mowing costs by nearly 15 percent over the next three years. It is a rare "win-win" where environmental stewardship actually pads the municipal wallet. Residents can expect to see the first "No Mow Zone" signs appearing near the municipal complex by Wednesday afternoon.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The Lower Southampton Library
    • Tucked away on Bridgetown Pike, our local library is far more than a quiet place for books; it is the town’s unofficial living room. Founded by a dedicated group of volunteers decades ago, it remains a testament to community-led civic life. Did you know the library sits on land that was once part of a sprawling farm? Today, it honors that heritage through its new Seed Library, ensuring that the gardening traditions of our area continue to grow in modern suburban backyards.
