Three of Delaware’s scenic byways, the Brandywine Valley National Scenic, Delaware Bayshore and Historic Lewes Byways are being put in the spotlight March 2023, by the National Scenic Byway Foundation! As a member of NSBF, Delaware Greenways was one of twelve organizations selected, whose byways under their management will receive national attention through NSBF’s marketing this year.

All month long, people locally, and across the country will learn about these amazing Delaware roadways! NSBF’s highlight items can be found on their Facebook page and website!  

We’ll be sharing each of the byway highlights on our own Facebook and Instagram pages (and here on our website), so be sure to follow us on social media!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get around in New Castle County, Delaware or Cecil County, Maryland in the next twenty years? How congested will it be? Will you be able to walk or bike safely, and use public transportation? What types of transportation improvements should be the priority? These are the types of questions that are at the heart of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) 2023 Update, which has been released for public review and comment. Read the plan.

WILMAPCO (Wilmington Area Planning Council) welcomes you to review the draft document and associated Air Quality Conformity Determination, and share your thoughts on the goals, objectives, actions, and projects it contains. Read more details on WILMAPCO’s website.

The New Castle County Department of Land Use invites the public to attend a Hybrid Public Information Session on Wednesday, January 18th, to seek public input and discuss potential first steps regarding NCC2050 Environmental Justice recommendations.

“This element of the Comprehensive Plan identifies communities facing inadequate access to services, transportation, infrastructure, housing, health, and other resources, allowing us to set policies that improve their physical health, well-being, and overall quality of life. Strategic investments in these communities serve as preventative measures decreasing rates of diabetes, asthma, heart disease and mental health concerns, while providing the necessary mobility and accessibility to allow all residents to thrive.” – NCC2050 Comprehensive Plan (page 332)

You are welcome to attend this event in-person or virtually.  The event will be held at the Route 9 Library & Innovation Center, New Castle, DE.  For those attending in-person, the presentation will be followed by small group discussions where the public may engage with, ask questions, and share comments with Land Use staff.  Anyone wishing to comment on the material presented may do so in-person (at the workshop) or via email at LandUse@Newcastlede.gov.
