New Sidewalks on Philmont Avenue Ready for Your Morning Walk

Feasterville Trevose, PA · May 16, 2026

The sun is cutting through the early haze, and the neighborhood is waking up to a much quieter Philmont Avenue now that the heavy machinery has finally cleared out. It is a perfect morning to test out the new pavement before the afternoon heat kicks in.

📰 The Lead

The orange cones have officially vanished from Philmont Avenue, marking the completion of the long-awaited pedestrian safety expansion near the Trevose SEPTA station. For months, residents navigated lane shifts and dust as crews worked to bridge the gap between residential side streets and the transit hub.

The project added a continuous, ADA-compliant sidewalk and high-visibility crosswalks at key intersections that previously forced commuters to walk along the narrow shoulder. Beyond just convenience, the township integrated new "green" drainage basins along the curb line to mitigate the chronic pooling that often plagued this stretch during spring thunderstorms. With the final striping cured and the barriers removed, the corridor is now significantly safer for the dozens of neighbors who make the daily trek to the platform on foot.
