As part of a quest to add sidewalks along New Falls Road, PennDOT will be reclaiming its right-of-way land in Bristol and Middletown townships.
It’s not sidewalks, yet, but it’s a step closer. Officials from Bristol Township, Middletown, and state met Thursday at the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority headquarters off Green Lane to talk about adding sidewalks to New Falls Road in Levittown. Officials agreed to begin work to reclaim PennDOT owned right-of-ways and clear brush from the sides of the roadway from Veterans Highway (Route 413) to Bristol-Oxford Valley Road. The cleared brush will allow pedestrians a clear path to walk on the embankment that sits on both sides of the road. Local officials hope that the clearing will eventually lead to the installation of sidewalks. PennDOT will begin surveys in the coming weeks to confirm its right-of-way along the busy road. Click …

The Rite Aid along New Falls Road was the target of medicine thieves.
The makeshift Rite Aid location in the 6900 block of New Falls Road in Bristol Township was ransacked by thieves on Tuesday, authorities said. Officers responded to the temporary, trailer-based pharmacy in the parking lot of the under-construction Rite Aid by Five Points for an active alarm Tuesday morning at 1 a.m., Lt. Terry Hughes said. Arriving patrol units found the structure had been entered and items from the pharmacy were rummaged through and taken, Hughes said. A refrigerator used to store medicine was also entered. As of late week, police did not have a full inventory of what was taken. Hughes said that officers have been dispatched to the pharmacy location in the past for alarm calls.

Progresses made but a number of challenges still need to be negotiated.
As Patch reported last month, Sharon Rearick’s online petition in honor of her son John, a victim of hit-and-run accident on New Falls Rd, created a groundswell of support for the installation of safe walkways along New Falls Road in Middletown and Bristol townships. The outcry led to a meeting coordinated by state Sen. Tommy Tomlinson (R-6) on Thursday at the senator's offices in Langhorne. Attending were state Rep. Tina Davis’ (D -141) Chief of Staff Bryan Allen, Bristol Township Manager Bill McCauley, Middletown Township’s Director of Parks and Recreation Debby Lemanna and PennDOT Bucks County Maintenance Manager Calvin Morrison. Al Sutter, chief of staff for Tomlinson, characterized the meeting as productive saying there are a number …
