Where is the Trail Network?

Project Description:
This project will explore options for bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Augustine Cut Off that will link the state’s two largest population centers, the City of Wilmington and Brandywine Hundred, by connecting the greater Blue Ball/US 202 Pathway system to Trolley Square and the Brandywine Park trail network.

Project Justification:
Improved bike facilities along Augustine Cut Off were identified as a priority in the New Castle County Bicycle Plan and City of Wilmington Bike Plan. The project was submitted to DelDOT in 2020 by WILMAPCO for consideration in the FY22 Bike/ Ped Pool and it ranked highest, moving it to concept development in FY22.

Project Phases

Phase 1 – East Side Connector:

  • The first phase of the Wilmington Loop concept, the East Side Connector project would connect the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail and the Jack A Markell Trail near the confluence of the Brandywine and Christina River.  This phase benefits the historically isolated/underserved East Side, a transformational connector for our state’s largest city – improving access to cultural, educational, and business resources.  

Project Segments

Looking at the East Side Connector in segments:

  • Phase 1 – East Side Connector Segment 1: Market Street Bridge and South Park Drive in Brandywine Park. The trail idea skirts the banks of the Brandywine past (North to South) Urban Bike Project, Howard High School, Stubbs Early Education Center, Kalmar Nyckel Foundation Facility, the First State National Historical Site at Christina Park, and the Wilmington Youth Rowing Association and would connect to Tubman-Garret Park across the street from the Wilmington Train Station
  • Phase 1 – East Side Connector Segment 2 (existing): At Tubman-Garrett Park the Riverwalk connects to the Jack A. Markell Trail and to Historic New Castle. This being the case, the trail idea begins to connect the three First State National Historical Park Sites.
