INTRODUCTIONS
CALLED TO ORDER: Meeting opened at 5:00 P.M.
Councilman Ralph Taylor welcomed everyone. He announced that Gerry Pennington had resigned as chair. Ms. Riddle
then announced that she would be resigning her seat as well. Mr. Asay asked her to make her registration effective after
the September meeting so that we would have a quorum. She agreed.
Mrs. Mitchell asked Mr. Asay why a quorum is needed for the September meeting, noting this is an advisory committee?
Mr. Asay noted we have not set the September meeting agenda.
Mr. Asay asked for suggestions for members. He has asked Pete DiMaria and stated to Mr. Asay, yes he would be
interested. Mr. DiMaria could not attend tonight, but would be attending in September. Mr. Moses noted he would be
reaching out to Kathy Doyle to return as a member, as she would bring a lot to the table. Mrs. Courtney noted we should
run an advertisement, as there may be people out there that are interested that we are missing. I’ll contact the clerk’s
office for guidance on that process. Mr. Asay agreed, stating that was a good idea.
AGENDA
Mr. Asay asked for addition/deletion to agenda. The motion was then accepted and approved without objection.
MINUTES
The Chair opened the floor to accept the June minutes. Mr. Fiori noted under construction updates, a typo on the 6th line
“drawn” not “done” by Century Engineering. With no further changes, the minutes were approved without objection.
OLD BUSINESS
PEDESTRIAN ISSUES
Mr. Asay opened the floor to Mr. Lesniewski and Ms. Riddle. Mr. Lesniewski a lot of things I’ve suggested in the past have
been considered. Things that come to my mind, restriping crosswalks on Rt8, sidewalk repair by…Mrs. Mtichell asked is
this information on advisory projects. Is that is something we should be doing? Mr. Asay responded as advisory to City
Council we see the responsibility to relay things that need attention. Mrs. Mitchell noted I thought this was an advisory
committee for multimodal transportation and not maintenance issues. Mr. Asay said he thought this committee was to
advise the city on all pedestrian and bicycling issues. Mr. Moses seconded that statement. Mrs. Mitchell that is not a
motion. Mr. Moses noted he was supporting Mr. Asay’s statement. Ms. Courtney noted that Mrs. Mitchell is correct.
This committee has been directed to call into Public Works with these kinds of maintenance issues as any resident can,
they should be calling directly into Public Works. We have directed them to do and they are now just following up on
these issues, such as the stripping of Rt8. Under Mrs. Cyr’s leadership we directed this body to share their concerns with
staff directly by calling Public Works.
Mr. Lesniewski stated I suggested cross walks on State Street near Washington Street. Ms. Courtney noted when she
followed up on this suggestion, DelDOT and the city had to approve and neither supported this idea due to the residents
Paj 3
that would be losing parking in front of their homes. DelDOT did not want to do that and the city did not push that issues.
Mr. Lesniewski continues to feel this would be a good idea as he sees people crossing here frequently. He felt this was
important.
Mr. Taylor asked if we have a project like this how does it get done? Mrs. Mitchell noted it would need to go thru Council
and DelDOT for moving these kinds of projects forward. It does take some time to go thru all the approval processes.
Brief discussion on how this process works.
Mr. Lesniewski noted on Kings Highway behind the Reed Street building, he stated that he sees people often having go
out into the street, handicap access is poor. Mrs. Mitchell responded stating she has requested that parking lot repave,
the sideway and handicap ramp issues will be addressed.
Mr. Siegel noted he called into Planning & Inspections about an area near (State Street) Wesley College, and they did go
over and clear that out. Mrs. Mitchell noted she also saw that and it has been removed. Mrs. Mitchell noted she too had
seen this area and called into code enforcement for to issue any applicable citations.
Mrs. Courtney will resend the information to report issues on these matters.
DOVER TREASURE HUNT
Ms. Riddle shared flyers on the event. We have had to scale back the tree walk to The Green and back. We felt it was a
stretch to far without assistance with co‐sponsors we decided to keep the tree walk within the boundaries of Silver Lake
Park. We do have a draft brochure that will highlight the park and trees along the pathways. There will be two (2) guided
walks during the Silver Lake Day event. We do still have the draft of the “town” walk was coming together we can share
that, keep in mind this is a draft. We are hoping eventually there will be lots of walks to highlight things in Dover. I would
encourage everyone to come out and join us with the walks. We need participants as this is new so the more folks there
will help. Sat., August 31 from 10 am – 1pm.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Mr. Fiori noted the US13 Sidewalk construction is about done. The Senator Bikeway is under construction, about ½ way
done and still on schedule.
Mr. Moses asked where that stands with Bennie Smith? Mr. Fiori noted we met with Mr. Smith we decided to allow him
to park his vehicles in the lane during services. One hurst and one vehicle behind and they only be allowed to park there
during the service. We will see how that works and address issues that may arise.
Mr. Moses how does a cyclist safely navigate that? Mrs. Mitchell noted the Mayor and I met with Mr. Smith and this is
the solution that we came to. They will have to navigate it by using the sidewalk or road. Mr. Taylor asked Mr. Moses
what is his solution? Mr. Moses noted it would be what I understood Bennie Smith agreed to in the beginning and that
was to use the side street. I was told $40,000 was spent on his property to keep the SBW uninterrupted. Mrs. Mitchell
noted no money was spent on his property. Mr. Fiori confirmed no monies were spent on the Bennie Smith property.
Mr. Moses feel this is dangerous we area supposed to be able to allow your young child to ride this without interruption.
Mr. Asay stated the whole reason to start this area was due to the safety of cyclists in this particular area. If cars are
parked along there cyclists are now forced out into the street or up on the sidewalk. Mrs. Mitchell stated Mr. Smith is
long time business owner and the support was not there to force him into an agreement. Mr. Asay stated this proposal
now forces kids to ride into the street with no protection. Mrs. Mitchell said kids may use the sidewalks, they will not be
forced into the street. The only time this is an issue is during the services and parking restrictions will be enforced.
Paj 4
Mr. Moses stated he accessed Mr. Smith’s property and he has multiple options for existing with his service on his
property probably options better than coming out the front door. I feel Mr. Fiori would agree. Mr. Fiori noted his
backdoors are not large enough for the purposes required. Mr. Moses noted the no parking signs that are now posted
are not being enforced as he is parking there now and he (Mr. Smith) is not being fined. I feel this is going to be a
problem. My frustration in this is that Century Engineering should have had that base covered before they designed this
to go in front on Bennie Smith if the city was not going to stand behind it. Mrs. Mitchell noted the city did not have his
approval, Century Engineering and DelDOT did have those conversations. Mr. Asay for cost measures we agreed to do
delineators along this section since we could not cost effectively widen the sidewalk from the school east to the railroad.
The suggestion of widening the sidewalk in this area was discussed. Mr. Moses wants to go on record its going to be a
terrible thing if the city made a decision in the most dangerous section to force kids out into the street. Mrs. Mitchell
stated the city did not make a decision, Mr. Smith was not approving. Mr. Moses stated Mr. Smith does not own the
shoulder. Mrs. Mitchell noted he is the business owner and he was not happy about blocking off his property. Children
can ride on the sidewalk and not go into the street. Mr. Seigel noted they only time people will be there is when servicing
are letting out and that will be just a short time. He really didn’t see this as a problem. Riders can simply use the
sidewalk in the event a funeral service is taking place. Mr. Moses and Mr. Asay were not in agreement with this option as
this is most dangerous section.
Mr. Asay wanted to point out the US Rt13 path, was a missing link for folks traveling north/south on the southbound side
of Rt13. (Pizza Hut to Big Lots). This great and I just wanted to make a big deal out of that piece being completed.
BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN UPDATE
Mrs. Mtichell stated the consultants and MPO have set the kick off date for Thursday, August 15 at 11 AM. Mr. Asay felt
it would be good to have as many committee members attend as possible. He then poled everyone. Mr. Moses said
depended on work load, Mr. Lesniewski was not available, Mr. Seigel has it on his calendar and Ms. Riddle would do her
best. Mr. Asay described how the meeting work, and we will be able to hear their concept on how the plan update would
be done. Mr. Lee said he would try.
SENATOR BIKEWAY
Mr. Asay presented a proposal for Paving Markage and Signage. It was not presented for inclusion in the meeting packet.
This included from the railroad track to Silver Lake Park. It involves very little construction because it is on residential
streets. He and I agreed at the last meeting to come up with a proposal for the marking process and so what is currently
in the plans for this piece, there will be delineator on North West Street on the west side of the street. Mrs. Mitchell
noted the time and Mr. Moses maybe this should be tabled due to time and have a more indepth conversation next
meeting. Mrs. Mitchell don’t they have that in the design already? Mr. Asay, yes they have a proposal for paving
marking and signage. We are responding to their proposal. Mrs. Mitchell asked if DelDOT gave us a proposal to respond
to Ms. Courtney replied, no their plans are complete. Mr. Asay stated there was no public workshop for this piece. Mrs.
Mitchell asked Mr. Fiori if the plan included markings? Mr. Fiori noted yes there are approved markings and plans, for
signage and stripping. The subcommittee saw those plans and had concerns and are now making their feedback. Mr.
Asay what is being proposed are signs that direct people, similar to the blue signs you may see now. We approve of their
use of those. What we felt we needed to comment about the use of sharrows to mark the pavement. We have a concern
about sharrows as they are used in a completely different way in other parts of town. These are streets that are not bike
friendly and a challenge for bikes his belief for sharrows is to let autos know bicyclists to share to the lane. We did have a
member of the public who said he liked the sharrows, however the use here is a conflict in signals. Mr. Moses stated we
have ideas that are inexpensive, and greatly increase the safety like 4 ways stops. Automobile would have the direction
to stop at the Senator Bikeway. These are safe for the cyclists and driver as well and worth the money. This will make
the bikeway safe as it was intended. Without marking and four ways stops to educate the motorists and cyclist it defeats
the purpose.
Paj 5
Mr. Asay statement he and Mr. Moses had two primary reasons for making these suggestions, 1) for the safety of
bikeway users as many will be children and 2) clearly identify the route as a recommended bike route (encouraging users
to make this the primary route). Mr. Moses requested that this item be added to next months agenda allowing everyone
time to review the information handed out today and digest it.
Ms. Courtney reminded everyone that Mr. Galvin of the MPO recommended that we check the MUTC manual, it would
explain a definition of sharrows that varies from what was presented tonight. DelDOT use of sharrows is not as it was
presented here this evening. Mr. Asay, agreed and he called the traffic section of DelDOT to let them know his concern
about the two different uses of sharrows. Per Mr. Asay, the traffic representative agreed to talk about it internally with
DelDOT and then possibly the Delaware Bicycle Council for a consistent use of sharrows.
Ms. Riddle what is at the intersections of Cecil and Governors? Mr. Asay says, yes number 3 under DelDOT actions is
green paint. Something different than the standard walk way.
Mr. Lee stated he would like to see intersections on the screen when we are discussing these. Ms. Courtney can pull
these areas up if she is provided information prior to the meeting. The city will not accept outside thumb drives,
information the members would like to see during the meetings should be emailed over prior to the meeting (also for
inclusion meeting packet).

Nothing was brought to the forward.

With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:07 pm.

COMMISION SUBCOMMITTEE
Paj 7
Prepared by: Chris Asay and Dave Moses
Proposal for Pavement-marking and Signage for the
Senator Bikeway, Particularly on Phase 1
Phase 1 of the Senator Bikeway, currently under construction, extends from Carver Road in the
west, to Silver Lake Park in the east, following Forest Street, West Division Street, North West
Street, Cecil Street, the alley east of North State Street, and Washington Street.
Concerning the pavement markings and signage along this route, we have two goals:
1. Safety for the bikeway users, many of whom will be children.
2. Clearly and prominently identifying the bikeway to potential users, and to automobile drivers.
This is to promote use and also provide safety for users.
This proposal includes recommendations for DelDOT actions, and for City of Dover actions.
DelDOT Actions
1. We approve of the installation of directional signage as proposed. These are the signposts
located at turns in the route that provide directional arrows and distances to selected
destinations.
2. We do not approve of the use of “sharrows” painted in white paint on the pavement along
the route, as these markings are already in use on roadways in Dover that are not
considered “low stress” bike routes. As an alternative, we suggest markings similar to those
used in striped bike lanes, but perhaps using green paint, rather than white paint.
3. We suggest the installation of green pavement markings at three intersections: Cecil Street
and Governors Ave, Cecil Street and North State Street, Hazel Road and the alley. Traffic is
heavy on Governor’s Ave and North State Street. The green paint is a visual warning to
automobiles that this is a special crossing area.
4. We also suggest painting green angle-arrows, marked “SB” at 4 turns in the route: W
Division and N West Streets, Cecil and N West Streets, Cecil Street and the alleyway, and
Washington Street and the alleyway. These would provide additional guidance for bicyclists.
City of Dover Actions
1. Change three intersections on Cecil Street from 2-way stop to 4-way stop: At North West
Street, Kirkwood Street, and Queen Street. (The intersection of Cecil and New Streets is
already a 4-way stop.) This will provide significant safety for bicyclists at these intersections,
by requiring cross traffic to come to a complete stop.
2. Provide signage ( <—Senator Bikeway—> ) atop street signs at all intersections along the
Senator Bikeway. This helps to make it clear that this route is a special bike route. (On this
phase, there are 16 intersections that would have this signage. Also 12 more heading west,
and 2 more heading east. 30 in total.)

1. Introductions
2. Problem statement and project goals
Make the City of Dover Bicycle and Pedestrian Sub-committee happy
Prior plans covered much of what was necessary
Incorporate changes since last plan
o New streets and new developments
o Improvements that have been made or are in progress
o Accommodate a growing city
Updating plans separately would have duplicated efforts

Paj 10
08/29/2019 Page 2 32167-004
Understand gaps in the current network (the previous plan was “almost all gaps”)
Subcommittee has a mandate to coordinate bike and pedestrian improvements
Focus on projects that will have the most impact since many people who might bike are discouraged by
riding in the street
Big statewide change in how projects get funded with the adoption of “A Blueprint for A Bicycle Friendly
Delaware,” (Blueprint Plan) and bottom up planning is now critical
Currently bronze level Bicycle Friendly Community and want to maintain or improve status
3. Study organization
MPO is funding the study
City will lead the effort
DelDOT will review alongside the City
Subcommittee will provide input to the City and provide endorsement
City Council will adopt the plan
Donna and Carolyn will be the primary points of contact for the City
Leah will be the primary consultant point of contact
Donna emphasized that the plan must be publicly supported and affordable
Roles of City of Dover, Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee, and Dover/Kent County MPO
4. Scope review
Task 1 is right now
Task 2 is data collection, will principally consist of document review and the identification of current
project status
o Some past goals are open-ended and will carry forward into the next plan
o Since the last plan, Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) has become more accepted as best practice
o Input from stakeholders is important to make sure everything has been captured
Task 3 is public outreach
o First public workshop will be to present the findings during Task 2, potentially in early to mid-
October
o Public outreach will be both educational to the public and collect public input
o Second workshop will be after the draft is prepared and will solicit comments on the draft
Task 4 is the draft plan
o Deliverable is a draft plan that is useful for implementation
o Will include a and updatable map of improvements
o DelDOT’s LTS mapping will be used, maybe even at the initial public workshop
o Potential funding sources will be identified
Task 5 is the final plan
Questions from the group
o Jim asked the Bike/Ped Sub-committee members whether this is a pragmatic or aspirational plan
Chris responded that the plan should be grounded but include aspirations as well, since
an aspirational project resulted in the Senator Bikeway; important to include outside the
box projects so the public thinks creatively
Dave clarified that it is important that recommendations are realistic and implementable
o Ralph recommended that there is open and consistent communication with the public, also do
not want to disillusion the public
o Matt: a goal should be that people who cannot drive can walk or bike where they need to go,
primary goal is utilitarian use, not recreational use
o Dave: everyone’s safety is important
Asst. City Manager: ideally make bike/ped a transportation option for everyday people, primary goal is for
utilitarian use, but also recreational use
Jeff responded that the Blueprint Plan focuses on people who are not comfortable riding in mixed traffic;
it is good to think of whether a middle-school student could use the facilities without supervision

Chris expressed concern over the differences between walking and bicycling networks, due to the
differing character and level of network completion between the two
City shared that they hope the plan will attract economic development, promote equity, and lower car
traffic
Chris brought up the Bicycle Friendly Community application process, and how it is not solely focused on
projects/engineering: Jim expressed some concern about the BFC focus adding to the scope
Jeff clarified that his process is an update and not a rewrite, but that much of the data needed for the
Bicycle Friendly Community application will be included in the Plan
Fran shared that the Sub-Committee received feedback from Pedestrian Friendly Community application
process and will provide it to WRA
Preliminary feedback/ideas:
o City and State must get behind a plan for nighttime illumination and daytime running lights for
bikes, determine a way for the City to provide lights to those who cannot afford them; education
and safety are critical; a lot of accidents are because cyclists aren’t seen and none of the
relevant laws are being enforced
o Currently incorporating bicycle safety plan into Capital School curriculum; 6-week program in 4th
grade gym curriculum that was developed with the Sub-committee and included input from
League Certified Instructors
o Traffic from points west of Dover applies a lot of pressure on transportation network
5. Key project data and documents available from Dover/Kent County MPO and others
WRA will work with Dover/Kent MPO, City of Dover, and DelDot to procure relevant data and documents
6. Next Steps
WRA will advance scope, and work with Dover to schedule first public meeting for early October
Clarified that the time horizon for the document is longer than 5 years, especially if including aspirational
projects
Completion within fiscal year, approximately June
The above is a memorandum of understanding between the parties regarding the topics discussed and the decisions
reached. Any participants desiring to add to, or otherwise amend the minutes, are requested to put their comments in
writing to the writer within seven (7) days; otherwise, the minutes will stand as written.
