Street Road Pedestrian Safety Upgrades Begin This Morning
Feasterville Trevose, PA · June 29, 2026
Monday morning brings the hum of orange vests and heavy machinery to Street Road. If you're heading toward the turnpike today, give yourself an extra ten minutes to navigate the new lane shifts near the shopping centers.
📰 The Lead
The long-awaited pedestrian safety initiative along the Street Road corridor officially breaks ground this morning. This project aims to address the high volume of foot traffic near the township’s primary retail hubs by installing high-visibility crosswalks and synchronized countdown timers at three major intersections. For years, residents have voiced concerns about the difficulty of navigating the stretch between Feasterville Plaza and the surrounding businesses on foot.
Beyond just paint and lights, the plan includes the installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps and a strategic extension of the sidewalk network to close existing gaps. Crews will be working primarily during daylight hours this week, which means intermittent lane closures should be expected between Bustleton Pike and Philmont Avenue. Township officials hope to have the most disruptive phase of the concrete work completed before the heavy traffic of the upcoming holiday weekend.
