A Rehoboth Beach task force created to look at ways to change the streetscape of Baltimore and Wilmington avenues held its second meeting April 7, and a consensus is starting to emerge on a number of subjects. Specifically, a disdain for one-way streets and the desire to pursue burying of utility lines.
Task force member Jenny Burton owns a number of properties on Baltimore Avenue. She said the west ends of Baltimore and Wilmington are too narrow to allow for trucks to turn. It would be a logistical nightmare, she said.
“One-way streets would hurt businesses,” said Burton. “The city would regret it, and businesses would leave.”
