New Castle County's
Greenway
Plan:
Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathways
Connecting our Communities
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.
Three open house workshops were held across New
Castle County to introduce our plan and to gather
public feedback. All meetings ran from 4:30
to 7:30PM. Workshop dates and locations are
listed below.

Turn out for the workshops exceeded staff
expectations. We received both wonderful support
and feedback on our plan. This summer, staff will be
compiling the comments, concerns, and suggestions we
received during our workshops. Then, necessary
changes will be made to the proposed pathway network.
If you have any additional comments on the New Castle
County Greenway Plan, please
e-mail us!
The sixteen maps below
represent the "existing," "proposed," and "to be
defined" pathway network to date. Each is a
little over 1MB in size and stored in .jpeg format. They should be
considered drafts.
