Attend this public workshop being held by the Town of Little Creek and Dover Kent Metropolitan Planning Organization to improve pedestrian safety.
The Town of Little Creek is interested in locating deficiencies in its network of sidewalks and crosswalks. It hopes to improve walkability along Main Street and provide new connections between locations in and around the town. To address these topics, Dover Kent MPO has completed a study that explores some of the potential options for transportation safety and connectivity enhancement.
The study includes an inventory of existing conditions such as current sidewalks and crosswalks, popular destinations in the area, the flow of pedestrian traffic, vehicle speed data, and the distribution of vehicle and pedestrian crashes. Following these conditions is a list of recommendations to improve pedestrian safety in the area. This study is not focused on the engineering and geological specifics of new pedestrian amenities, and further analysis would be needed before extensive changes could be implemented.
