New Castle County’s Greenway Plan
Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathways Connecting our Communities
Introduction
WILMAPCO, in partnership with DelDOT, New Castle County, DE State Parks, Delaware Greenways and local government will develop a plan for a basic network of multi-use pedestrian and bicycle pathways in New Castle County. This plan will complement the DelDOT Bicycle Plan, which addresses on road facilities, and other state and local plans. The New Castle County Greenway Plan will assist New Castle County and DelDOT to coordinate land use development and transportation projects with pathway/greenway trail implementation.
The final product will identify existing and potential multi-use pathways, emphasizing a network of sidepaths and pathways/greenway trails with proposed actions and policies to promote their implementation and local connections. What is a pathway, sidepath, or greenway trail? View a list of terms and definitions.
