Bensalem Township Council Meeting - May 11, 2026

The Bensalem Township Council meeting held on May 11, 2026, primarily focused on public concerns rather than formal agenda items. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing neighborhood safety and zoning issues related to a proposed safe house for women on Dunston Road, which raised questions about compliance with zoning laws, occupancy limits, and safety regulations. The township solicitor committed to investigating these concerns and reporting back to the council. Additionally, there was discussion about ongoing ADA compliance projects, including sidewalk ramps funded partly by state grants, and maintenance issues such as potholes. The council also mentioned a grant application for rehabilitating and adding pickleball courts in local parks. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during this meeting, but the council emphasized responsiveness to public input and ongoing infrastructure improvements.
