School Zone Checks Complete + Sunday Artisan Fairs Nearby
Feasterville Trevose, PA · August 30, 2026
Late August sunlight is cutting through the trees this morning, giving us a gentle Sunday pace before the holiday week ramps up.
The Lead
Township public works crews and local crossing guards completed their final coordination sweep of school zones across Lower Southampton this weekend. Flashing speed limit beacons along Bustleton Pike, Brownsville Road, and Bridgetown Pike received timing updates to align with Neshaminy School District’s upcoming morning arrival windows.
Crews also cleared sightlines around crosswalks near Poquessing Middle School and Lower Southampton Elementary, trimming overgrown summer foliage and repainting yellow curb markings. The township police department confirmed that patrol officers will maintain an increased presence near campus corridors starting Tuesday morning, watching for distracted drivers and enforcing reduced school-zone speed limits. Drivers should factor an extra five minutes into their morning routines as buses return to neighborhood roads.

Spotlight & Story
- The Siles School Site
- Before township schools consolidated into modern campuses, this Brownsville Road parcel housed the one-room Siles School, where local farm children studied and neighborhood volunteers met in 1929 to organize the Trevose Heights fire company. Today, neat suburban ranch homes occupy the quiet former school grounds.
