The incoming Keystone Trade Center warehouse complex that could anchor more than 10 million feet in Falls has some residents in neighboring Morrisville concerned, writes Peg Quann for the Bucks County Courier Times. 

At a meeting with officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, residents expressed concern over how the new complex could lead to heavy traffic, and even damage to their homes.  

Some residents said that heavy trucks driving by caused their houses to shake. One resident said that she counted over 100 trucks passing by her house and that the shaking formed cracks in her house’s ceiling and foundation.  

Another resident said a truck struck his home in December.  

PennDOT officials said they would try to get truck drivers to reroute vehicles to Route 13, and Tyburn Road, away from residential areas.  

Another official said building a new bridge from the warehouse complex to Route 29 in New Jersey would be a good long-term solution.  

The bridge proposal is already included in the “Lower Bucks Freight Access” study by Bucks County, according to Councilwoman Helen Hlahol.  

The warehouse complex, built by NorthPoint Development is slated to be the largest industrial park on the East coast.
