Mallard Pond trail extentsion mtg notice June 2018pdf

Meeting Notice The Bicycle/Pedestrian Subcommittee of the City of Dover will meet on Tuesday, June 19, at 5:00 PM. The meeting takes place at the Dover City Hall, Conference Room, first floor, 15 E. Loockerman St., Dover, DE. On the agenda is discussion of a Delaware Bicycle Council Innovation Grant possibility to perform a Feasibility Study for the following project: Fox Hall West ‐ Mallard Pond Park Link Description of the Project: Approximately 500 feet of multi‐use path connecting Pebble Valley Road, in the Fox Hall West development, to Mallard Pond Park, located at the north end of Marsh Creek Lane. The path would include a bridge over a drainage ditch. This short path would create a “short‐cut” for pedestrians and bicyclists from north Dover neighborhoods to the area of the new Dover High School. Neighborhoods benefiting would include Fox Hall, Fox Hall West, Westfield and Maple Dale. Creation of such a path has the potential to reduce auto traffic along Kenton Road and Route 8 during peak hours by making bicycling or walking to‐and‐from Dover High School a timesaving alternative. It is an example of adding connectivity to the Low‐Stress Bicycle Network that our community is developing. This project is included in the 2015 Dover Pedestrian Plan. The community is invited to attend and provide feedback to the Subcommittee about this potential project.
