Philmont Avenue Sidewalk Project Begins This Morning

Feasterville Trevose, PA · May 11, 2026

Happy Monday—if you noticed the orange cones appearing on Philmont Avenue overnight, you aren't alone; the long-awaited sidewalk and pedestrian safety project officially kicks off this morning. It is a perfect day to leave the windows open, as we are looking at a stretch of clear skies and mild temperatures to start the work week.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors has officially greenlit the "Green Corridor" initiative, a multi-year beautification and environmental project set to transform the commercial stretches of Street Road and Bustleton Pike. Starting this week, crews will begin the first phase, which involves clearing invasive brush and preparing soil for hundreds of native Pennsylvania trees and shrubs.

The project aims to do more than just improve the view; the new canopy is designed to reduce the "heat island" effect caused by our local asphalt and improve stormwater management during summer downpours. While the planting won't cause major lane closures, residents should expect to see landscaping teams working near the shoulders through the end of the month. This marks one of the most significant investments in township aesthetics in over a decade, funded largely by state environmental grants.
