The Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO), DelDOT and the New Castle County Department of Land Use, are working together to create a program of improvements for Augustine Cut Off. Delaware Greenways is assisting these agencies with the study, through our position on the Advisory Committee.
The Augustine Cut Off Multimodal Improvement Study, Phase 2, follows the Phase 1 study conducted by DelDOT in 2022 which led to a pathway/sidewalk improvement concept for Augustine Cut Off from Lovering Avenue to Cantera Avenue, which is in currently in the design process. Click here to review Phase 1 study materials.
There is a need to develop a concept for the entire corridor to function more safely for all modes. The study will continue to develop a program of traffic safety recommendations, low-stress pedestrian and bicycle facilities and context sensitive aesthetic improvements from Lovering Avenue to W Park Drive. This study will continue the public engagement effort that was begun with DelDOT’s Phase 1 Study. The goal is to develop concepts for the road from a more holistic perspective (bike/ped facilities, intersection improvements, traffic calming, typical sections, aesthetics) and develop a concept for a capital project.
Augustine Cut Off (ACO) is an arterial roadway that connects the Concord Pike corridor to Lovering Avenue in the City of Wilmington. The roadway is generally comprised of one lane of vehicular travel in each direction with wide shoulders that can be used by pedestrians and cyclists in the northern segment down to Cantera Road. From Cantera Road south to Wawaset Street there is a shared-use pathway along the southbound lane. Augustine Cut Off is fronted mainly by residences in the northern section and becomes more commercial approaching the southern terminus at Lovering Avenue. The study area encompasses the entire corridor from Concord Pike/W. Park Drive to Lovering Avenue. – WILMAPCO Visit the project page for more information.
