REI Co-Op Awards Grant to DGI

NDGT Wayfinding Plan seeks to improve trail experience and increase users

Delaware Greenways has been awarded a grant by REI Co-op which will provide funding for a Wayfinding* Project on the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail (NDGT). Needless to say, we’re super excited about it – and extremely grateful to REI for the support! 

To date we have accomplished many parts that will help us complete the Plan:

  • Delaware Greenways’ volunteers have collected existing signage information for all signs on and around the trail. 
  • From this work we have developed a database with the location and photo of each sign.
  • Maps have been created using this information, and they can be viewed on the NDGT Project Site.
  • Public survey completed in October 2021 to collect trail user and non-user experience on Delaware trails, with a main focus on the  NDGT.
  • Based on survey data and other information, we are currently compiling a list of improvements for signage and trail accessibility for the surrounding communities.

*Wayfinding refers to information systems that guide people through a physical environment and enhance their understanding and experience of the space.
