New Lighting Rules on the Agenda for Tonight’s Township Meeting

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 22, 2026

The hum of lawnmowers is already competing with the cicadas this morning. If you are heading toward the intersection of Street and Bustleton today, pack a little extra patience for the lane shifts while crews finish up the signal work.

📰 The Lead

The Board of Supervisors is set to deliberate on a new "Dark Skies" ordinance during tonight’s public session. The proposal aims to curb light pollution by requiring new commercial developments to use shielded fixtures and lower-intensity LED bulbs. For residents living behind the shopping centers on Street Road, this could mean a significant reduction in the overnight glare that currently spills into backyards.

Proponents argue the measure will also save energy and protect local nocturnal wildlife, while some business owners have raised questions about the cost of compliance for existing signage. If the ordinance passes, it would represent one of the most comprehensive updates to the township’s lighting code in over twenty years. The meeting begins at 7:30 PM at the municipal building, and the board is expected to take a final vote after the public comment period.
