Pedestrian Upgrades on Brownsville Road + Weekend Highlights Inside
Feasterville Trevose, PA · August 15, 2026
Saturday mornings have a way of slowing down the week, though plenty is stirring around the township today. Whether you are navigating past construction setups on Brownsville Road or heading out for live music, here is what matters before your second cup.
The Lead
Crews are hard at work along Brownsville Road near Avenue C as Lower Southampton Township moves forward on its pedestrian safety overhaul. The project introduces pedestal-mounted rapid flashing beacons, brand-new ADA-compliant curb ramps, and continuous sidewalk connections to make walking along the corridor safer for residents heading to nearby shops and bus stops.
Brownsville Road has long served as a high-volume connector between local neighborhoods and major thoroughfares, making pedestrian crossings a frequent point of community concern. Township officials designed the upgrade to slow down cut-through traffic while giving walkers clearer visibility.
During active work hours, lane restrictions and brief flagger delays may pop up, so drivers should budget a few extra minutes. Construction and final striping will continue through late summer, marking a long-awaited win for foot traffic in the neighborhood.

Spotlight & Story
- The Bustleton Plank Road Toll Markers
- In 1840, Bustleton Pike was upgraded into a private plank road charging travelers toll based on wagon wheel width. A surviving 19th-century carved stone marker along the township boundary quietly preserves the precise stopping point where teamsters paid their dues.
