What’s new?
Connecting with the Ardens provides a long-term planning blueprint to enhance safety and mobility through the Ardens. The plan’s goals include managing vehicular traffic speeds, providing enhanced pedestrian crossings, developing a pedestrian/bicycle network to traverse the Ardens, and enhancing transit and school bus stops. The plan embraces the unique context of the Ardens and aims to enhance the quality of life and safety of all users that are Connecting with the Ardens.
A Monitoring Committee has been formed to guide implementation of the Plan. The group is scheduled to meet monthly, via Zoom, on the first Monday of each month at 1:30 PM. Membership includes representatives from each Village, along with key implementing agencies such as DelDOT and DART.
