New Sidewalks Proposed for Street Road Corridor

Feasterville Trevose, PA · June 24, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this morning, but a light breeze should pick up just in time for the evening commute. If you are heading toward the Township Building tonight, you might want to arrive a few minutes early to find a spot in the lot.

📰 The Lead

The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors meets tonight at 7:30 PM, with a heavy focus on the "Safe Routes to Shops" initiative. This proposal aims to bridge the gaps in the sidewalk network along the busy stretch of Street Road between Bustleton Pike and Philmont Avenue. For years, residents have navigated worn dirt paths or risked the shoulder to reach local businesses on foot. The plan includes not just concrete, but improved lighting and ADA-compliant ramps at three key intersections. If the board moves forward with the engineering phase tonight, we could see surveyors on-site by late July. It is a significant step toward making our main thoroughfare feel less like a highway and more like a community hub. Public comment is encouraged before the final vote.
