At the evening workshop meeting on Tuesday, the Falls Township Board of Supervisors discussed a new development plan for the site of the former Lincoln Garage at 654 Lincoln Highway.

The proposal has two four-story buildings, each housing 48 age-restricted apartment units.
The proposed project would be built with common areas and a fitness center for the residents, Tim Duffy, the attorney representing the project, told LevittownNow.com over the summer.
The supervisors took no action on the proposal.

Previously, township officials had raised concerns about insufficient parking in the initial sketch plan.
In response, the developer revised the plans so it now includes 187 parking spaces, but that still falls short of the 264 spaces required by ordinance.
Supervisors Chairperson Jeff Dence and Supervisor John Palmer stressed the importance of providing at least two parking spots per unit.

As it stands, the project would lack five parking spots to meet the standard laid out by the two supervisors.
Dence expressed his desire for further input from the rest of the supervisors at a future meeting.
The 2.8-acre development site extends from Lincoln Highway to Trenton Road, according to county property records.

The Lincoln Garage operated for years until its closure in either 2010 or 2011. The demolition of the majority of the structure took place by 2012.
