Item 2. CITY OF DOVER, DELAWARE ACTION FORM PROCEEDING: Council Committee of the Whole (Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee) DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN: City Manager’s Office SUBMITTED ON: October 19, 2022 PREPARED BY: Sharon J. Duca, P.E., Assistant City Manager REVIEWED BY: David S. Hugg, III, City Manager SUBJECT: Update on Kenton Road Project TIMETABLE: Posted speed limit to be updated by the State following acceptance by City Council and execution of the Traffic Resolution by the State but before project construction. RELATED PROJECT: n/a EXHIBITS Exhibit A – Traffic Resolution for 35 MPH Speed Limit REFERENCE: n/a EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: n/a AMOUNT BUDGETED: n/a FUNDING SOURCE (Dept./Page in CIP & Budget): n/a STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That City Council support the proposed speed reduction to 35 MPH for Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), in conjunction with their consultant, Century Engineering, are currently in the design phase for the Kenton Road Project. This project will improve approximately 1.25 miles of Kenton Road (K104) between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158). The purpose of the project is to increase safety and improve overall traffic operations along Kenton Road for all users within the project area. The project provides eleven-foot (11’) travel lanes and five-foot (5’) shoulders/bicycle lanes along Kenton Road from SR8 to Chestnut Grove Road. Additional right and left turn lanes will be added at the subdivision entrances throughout the project limits. Roadway lighting will be upgraded within the project limits to current DelDOT standards. A signal is proposed at the intersection of Greentree Drive and Kenton Road. A second left turn lane is proposed on Walker Road and College Road approaching the intersections with Kenton Road. Along with the second left turn lane, a through lane on Kenton Road will be added southbound from College Road to Greentree Drive. These additional lanes will allow for better operations at the Walker Road and College Road intersections by allowing shorter green times on the sideroads while allowing for the 14

Item 2. expected left turn volumes. Signalized pedestrian crossings are also proposed. A roundabout is proposed at the Chestnut Grove Road intersection. The roundabout will allow for this left-turn movement to clear the intersection efficiently and will also slow southbound traffic entering the residential area encompassed by the project limits. Pedestrian movements will be accommodated at this intersection. To provide for pedestrians and low-stress bicyclists, a ten-foot (10’) wide multi-use path is proposed along the east side of Kenton Road from SR8 to College Road. The path continues north along the west side of Kenton Road to Carnoustie Road. Five-foot (5’) wide sidewalks are prosed on both sides of Kenton Road from Carnoustie Road to the northern project limits at Chestnut Grove Road. Bus stop locations, coordinated with DART, are included within the project limits. These improvements will help meet the project’s purpose and need to be a safe and efficient corridor for all roadway users. This project also analyzed the posted speed limit for Kenton Road within the project limits. (See Exhibit A Traffic Resolution for 35 MPH Speed Limit.) The posted speed limit is proposed to be reduced to 35 MPH from the current posted speed limit of 40 MPH. This reduction is recommended to meet driver expectation and provide speed limit continuity amongst the surrounding roadway network. As a result of this analysis by the State and their consultant, staff recommends that City Council support the proposed speed reduction to 35 MPH for Kenton Road between Forrest Avenue (SR8/K51) and Chestnut Grove Road (K158). 15

Exhibit A Item 2. Nicole Majeski secretary To: Peter Haag Chief Traffic Engineer Via: Sonya LaGrand Traffic Studies Manager From: Laura C. Haxton, P.E. Century Engineering Date: August 30, 2022 Subject: Traffic Resolution for 35 MPH Speed Limit Location: Kenton Road (K104) from Delaware Route 8 (K51, Forrest Avenue) to W. Denneys Road (K100), Dover, Kent County Attached is a resolution for the establishment of a 35 MPH posted speed limit for a segment of Kenton Road between Delaware Route 8 (K51, Forrest Avenue) (latitude: 39°9’33.1” N, longitude: 75°33’27.0” W) and W. Denneys Road (K100) (latitude 39°10’53.3” N, longitude: 75°35’10.4” W). This segment of Kenton Road is currently posted with a 40 MPH speed limit. The posted speed limit is recommended along this segment of Kenton Road to meet driver expectation and provide speed limit continuity amongst the surrounding roadway network. The surrounding roadways and associated posted speed limits (supported by speed resolutions) are as follows: ➢ Delaware Route 8 (K051, Forrest Ave) – 40 MPH (TR# SKC 96-14) ➢ Walker Road (K157) – 35 MPH (TR# 34-66) ➢ College Road (K099) – 35 MPH (TR# 5-38) ➢ Chestnut Grove Road (K158) – 35 MPH (TR# SK123-85) ➢ W. Denneys Road (K100) – 40 MPH (TR# SK68-89) The decreased speed limit on Kenton Road will provide a posted speed limit of 35 MPH for both directions from Delaware Route 8 to W. Denneys Road. Approval of this resolution is being recommended. Attachments: Resolution, Map, and Technical Memorandum for Speed Evaluation 16

This ordinance clarifies that an 434 inspection is required in order to renew a rental license and raises the fees for rental permits which are 435 more in line with what Newark (which has a high number of rentals given the student population) 436 charges but is below the total amount of what Lewes and Rehoboth charge as well as helping to defray 437 rising costs for inspections. This ordinance also requires that property owners who rent out properties 438 have property insurance and allows unpaid fines related to rentals to become tax liens on the property. 439 440 (SPONSORS: BOGGERTY AND HUGG) 441 442 443 Actions History: 444 September 27, 2022 - Introduced at Legislative, Finance, and Administration Committee 445 58
