Major Traffic Delays in Upper Moreland Due to Road Construction

Significant delays are impacting motorists in Upper Moreland Township due to ongoing roadwork, particularly around Terwood Road near York and Davisville roads. Wednesday morning saw considerable traffic congestion in the area, a direct result of the construction activities.

Officials are advising drivers to anticipate delays and consider planning alternate routes to navigate around the affected area. The construction is causing a notable disruption in the usual traffic flow, making it essential for motorists to adjust their travel plans accordingly.

Lower Southampton Reviewing Plans for Senior Apartment Complex on Brownsville Road

Feasterville in Lower Southampton Township is discussing a significant new development project. Federation Housing, Inc., plans to construct a three-story, L-shaped apartment complex at 1834 Brownsville Road, specifically designed for seniors aged 62 and above who meet certain income criteria set by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.

The Lower Southampton Township Board of Supervisors convened last night at the Township Administrative Building in Feasterville. The purpose of the meeting was to deliberate on Federation Housing's request to amend a conditional use resolution. This amendment aims to reduce the number of apartments in the complex from 72 to 52 units.

The proposed development is envisioned as a mixed-use space, with 20% dedicated to retail or business purposes. The project initially received approval from the Lower Southampton supervisors in 2020, authorizing the construction of the apartments on nearly two acres of land on Brownsville Road.

TODAY is… Opposite Day. Children across the country rejoice on this day as they declare they mean the opposite of whatever they say. I would love to do the dishes! Broccoli is my favorite food! I didn’t push my brother in the mud! Here is a serious question… What is the opposite of Opposite Day?

🦅 The Dolphins and Vic Fangio have mutually agreed to part ways. Fangio now will be the top target for the Philadelphia Eagles to hire as their defensive coordinator, and a deal is expected. Miami is allowing Fangio to leave to be closer to his family in Pennsylvania. Fangio and the Eagles had an interest in working together in 2023, but the timing didn’t work. This time it will.

🏀 As the February 8 NBA trade deadline approaches, there remains uncertainty around the Philadelphia 76ers' plans. Two potential targets, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, are no longer options, while the Sixers' interest in Zach LaVine seems to be lukewarm. With just about two weeks left, it's still unclear how the Sixers will navigate this trade deadline and what moves, if any, they might make to bolster their roster.

⚾️ The Philadelphia Phillies' roster in 2024 will largely look the same as it did last season. After doing a great job of building this team, there were very little tweaks that needed to take place. They needed to keep another ace in their rotation alongside Zack Wheeler, and they were able to accomplish that by re-signing Aaron Nola. With Craig Kimbrel departing in free agency, bullpen questions and needs started to arise after 23 saves, 69 innings and an All-Star performer left the relief staff.
