Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has awarded Solebury Township a Transportation Alternatives Set Aside (TASA) grant in the amount of $1,497,400 to support construction of a new multimodal trail in conjunction with the first phase of the future Solebury Green park.

The grant will fund the construction of approximately 1,320 feet of shared-use path and 280 feet of boardwalk along the south side of Lower York Road between Reeder Road and Shire Drive. The project is designed to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, safety, and accessibility while helping to connect gaps in an already established trail and multimodal network throughout the Township.

The pathway project represents a significant milestone in the development of Solebury Green, the Township’s planned approximately 13-acre community park property acquired in 2020. The trail system will provide safe access for residents and visitors while linking existing and future pedestrian and bicycle facilities along the Lower York Road corridor. Concept plans for the project include a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail, boardwalk sections through environmentally sensitive areas, ADA-accessible improvements, and future trail connections within the park system.

“This award is an important investment in Solebury Township’s long-term vision for safe, connected, and accessible recreational and transportation infrastructure,” said Township Manager Chris Garges. “The project will not only enhance public access to Solebury Green, but also create new opportunities for walking, biking, recreation, and community connectivity throughout the Township.”

With the grant now formally awarded, the Township will begin the administration phase of the project, including final engineering design, environmental review, and permitting.

The Township thanks its consultants, project partners, State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, State Rep. Tim Brennan and residents who have supported the vision for Solebury Green and the continued expansion of multimodal infrastructure within the community.

Additional information regarding the project and future updates will be shared through the Township’s website and social media channels.

The discussions were followed by community insights and comments, and a brief discussion of future Housing Forum topics.

In conjunction with Bucks County Planning Commission, Tom Comitta Associates, and Township staff, the Comprehensive Plan Committee has worked diligently since January 2024 to update the 10-year Township Comprehensive Plan.

Since then the Committee has analyzed results of a survey mailed to Township residents, held issue forums on significant topics, and held a community workshop.

As of March 2026, the Township is entering the final phase of the update process. A first draft of the plan has been circulated to the Committee members for their review.

In the next few months, additional drafting will be done to the plan and the final steps in the process will commence, including Planning Commission review, 45-day comment period for contiguous municipalities and school district, and adoption by the Board of Supervisors.

At its Feb. 3 meeting, the Solebury Board of Supervisors adopted a policy for handling claims by Township residents for damages to mailboxes caused by direct strikes from Township vehicles during the performance of snow plowing operations.

The Solebury Public Works Department often works under difficult weather conditions, including the plowing of snow, and takes care to avoid damage to residents' mailboxes located in the public road rights-of-way or Homeowners Association.

Experience shows that mailboxes are rarely, but sometimes, hit by plows. In addition, damage may be caused by the force of the snow or plow wash hitting the mailbox during plowing operations.

While a resident may not have a choice to locate a mailbox outside the road right-of-way due to USPS requirements, the resident can take steps to minimize exposure to loss and damage.

Accordingly, the purpose of this policy is to address mailbox damage resulting from Solebury Public Works Department snow plowing operations and claims for reimbursement by residents.
