The Middletown Township Bucks County Board of Supervisors convened on July 17, 2023, to address several pressing community issues, including traffic concerns related to a new Wawa store and a proposed apartment complex.

The meeting began with discussions surrounding the Wawa development. Supervisors expressed concerns about potential environmental impacts and traffic increases resulting from the store's opening. One supervisor noted the importance of monitoring the situation closely and suggested that the township's traffic engineer collaborate with Newtown's traffic engineer to improve traffic flow in the area. The supervisor emphasized the need for proactive measures to mitigate any adverse effects on local traffic patterns.

Additionally, the board addressed a proposal for a four-story apartment complex on University Drive. The supervisors acknowledged that this development could further complicate traffic issues, especially given its proximity to Middletown. They indicated that Newtown Township is currently opposing the project and that the township is in communication with both Newtown's solicitor and the developer's attorney to navigate the approval process.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from the supervisors to remain vigilant regarding these developments and to explore all possible avenues for community engagement and traffic management. The board thanked attendees for their input and reiterated their dedication to addressing the concerns raised.
