New Sidewalk Plan Aims to Connect Bustleton Pike Neighborhoods

Feasterville Trevose, PA · June 16, 2026

The humidity is holding off for one more morning, making it a perfect time to catch the early light at Playwicki Farm before the heat settles in. If you’re heading toward the library today, keep an eye out for the new "Tech Help" signage—assistance for those tricky tablet updates starts this afternoon.

📰 The Lead

The Township Board of Supervisors is looking at the map again, this time with a focus on where the pavement ends. A new proposal for the "Pedestrian Safety and Connectivity Initiative" is hitting the agenda for tomorrow night’s public meeting, aiming to fill the long-standing sidewalk gaps along Bustleton Pike and Philmont Avenue.

For residents who have spent years navigating the grassy shoulders to reach the train station or local shops, the plan represents a significant shift toward a more walkable community. The project would prioritize the stretches between commercial hubs and residential pockets, potentially adding several miles of new concrete paths over the next two fiscal years. While the engineering phase is still being finalized, the board is expected to discuss the first round of grant funding tomorrow. Residents are encouraged to attend and point out specific "blind spots" where foot traffic is currently most precarious.
