NORTHERN NEW CASTLE COUNTY
BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN NETWORK MASTER PLAN
Introduction
This plan will identify and plan for a safe, connected, and comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian network that will link historic, culturally significant, and other important destinations and trailways in northern New Castle County. Integrating these locations into the larger transportation network is important to provide safe and reliable non-motorized access to historic and cultural landmarks so people can have options other than driving to access them. This plan will document current bicycle and pedestrian facilities and propose future amenities and improvements to connect existing paths to historical and cultural sites in the County. The project team will also review existing signage and historic markers, and make recommendations to add additional wayfinding.
Previous Planning Effort:
New Castle County’s Greenways Plan
Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathways Connecting our Communities
WILMAPCO, in partnership with DelDOT, New Castle County, DE State Parks, Delaware Greenways and local government, developed a plan for a basic network of multi-use pedestrian and bicycle pathways in New Castle County. This plan complemented the DelDOT Bicycle Plan, which addressed on road facilities, and other state and local plans. The New Castle County Pathway Plan will assist New Castle County and DelDOT to coordinate land use development and transportation projects with pathway/greenway trail implementation. This has been included in the New Castle County Comprehensive Plan and WILMAPCO Regional Transportation Plan
