Could there be pedestrian bridges over Route 1 in the Lewes-Reboboth Beach area?
During the April 26 Five Points Working Group virtual meeting, Jeff Riegner, a Delaware Department of Transportation consultant with Whitman, Requardt & Associates, said a study is underway to determine possible locations for pedestrian bridges.
The idea is one of 78 recommendations formulated by the working group.

Sussex County Council has taken a major step to get long-awaited road improvement projects completed ahead of Delaware Department of Transportation s anticipated schedule. A project not scheduled to begin for at least four years will now get underway in early 2021.
At its Dec. 15 meeting, council voted 4-1 to approve a memorandum of understanding with DelDOT to create the Funding Accelerating Safety in Transportation (FAST) Track funding program, a first-of-its-kind plan to use a set-aside of county funds to jump-start road improvements that are planned, but not imminent on DelDOT s six-year capital projects list.
Under the program, Sussex County will provide funding to expedite the construction of road projects in the county. DelDOT will then reimburse the county the total amount as a project is completed.
