An article in Phillyburbs was talking about traffic problems on side streets near Second Street Pike and Street Road in Upper Southampton. During any part of the rush hour, Second Street Pike is at a virtual crawl.A developer wants to take 3.5 acres of commercial/business property next to Premier Bank and rezone it to residential. Their plan is to put 57 condo units there. Question – If we already have traffic problems does it make any sense to rezone commercial/business property into residential? The developer is asking for a half dozen or so variances in order to build there.Part of the development plan, as I understand it, is to route the traffic from these condos onto both Street Road and by the old train station onto Second Street Pike. So, we already have a traffic problem and now we are going to add a couple of hundred cars entering and exiting 2nd Street Pike and Street Road..
Calming
measures sought for traffic (phillyBurbs.com) Intelligencer:
“Residents of Hampton and Summit avenues are fed up with drivers usingtheir close-knit neighborhood as a cut-through from Street Road to Second StreetPike.They’re asking the Upper Southampton supervisors to look intotraffic-calming measures for what residents describe is a neighborhood filledwith children.”

The Blue Sage contines to offer consistently excellent service and food. We stopped in for lunch on Thursday. We had a bit of a wait since the place was completely full. We shared the Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos which are made with Grilled asparagus, tomato-almond pesto with jack cheese in a griddled blue corn tortilla. For desert I had a chocolate panini. This is 2 slices of toasted walnut bread with melted chocoloate and a scoop of , I believe, cinnamon Hazelut Gelato. If you think like a kid, you are actually eating a chocolate sandwich.!!. Life doesn’t get a whole lot better than that.They are now offering cold soups for takeout.The place is almost always packed. It makes for a little bit of a noisy environment but that is more than offset by great service and food.
