New Sidewalks Connect the Library to the Heart of Town

Feasterville Trevose, PA · May 3, 2026

Happy Sunday—if you’re heading out for a morning coffee, you’ll notice the crews have finally cleared the orange cones from the Street Road corridor, just in time for a beautiful spring walk to the library. It is a perfect day to leave the car in the driveway and enjoy the fresh air before the Monday rush returns.

📰 The Lead

The long-awaited "Walkable Feasterville" initiative reached a major milestone this weekend with the completion of the sidewalk expansion connecting the Lower Southampton Library to the main shopping district. For years, residents navigating this stretch had to contend with narrow shoulders and uneven grass, but the new five-foot-wide concrete paths and ADA-compliant ramps now offer a seamless route for pedestrians and strollers alike.

The project, funded in part by a state multimodal transportation grant, aims to reduce short-distance car trips and improve safety along one of our busiest thoroughfares. While some minor landscaping and seeding remain for the coming week, the paths are officially open for use. Township officials noted that this is the first phase of a larger plan to link our residential pockets more directly to local businesses and public spaces.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Bustleton Pike Safety Upgrades Begin Starting tomorrow morning, expect minor delays near the intersection of Bustleton Pike and Philmont Avenue. Crews are installing high-visibility crosswalks and updated signal timing to better protect pedestrians. This work is scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize the impact on your commute.

  • Neshaminy Budget Hearing Set The school board has scheduled a public hearing for later this week to discuss the preliminary 2026-2027 budget.

  • New Cafe in Trevose The "Morning Mist Cafe" officially opened its doors yesterday in the Trevose Shopping Center. Specializing in small-batch roasts and locally sourced pastries, it fills a long-vacant storefront and provides a much-needed independent gathering spot for the neighborhood.

🌤️ Today's Outlook

Expect a quintessential spring Sunday. We are looking at clear, bright blue skies with a high of 72 degrees. A light breeze from the west will keep things comfortable for afternoon yard work or a visit to the park. Temperatures will dip to a crisp 48 degrees overnight, so you might want a light jacket if you’re heading out for an early morning walk tomorrow.

  • Lower Southampton Athletic Association (LSAA)
    • For over 60 years, the LSAA has been the heartbeat of youth sports in our community, operating almost entirely on the steam of local volunteers. While many towns have moved toward highly competitive, travel-only models, the LSAA maintains a strong "in-house" tradition that prioritizes neighborhood play and sportsmanship.
