Date Posted: Thursday, March 26th, 2015MPO Technical Advisory Committee
to discuss short-range plan and projects
CAMDEN — Two Transportation Improvement Program items are on the docket at the next Technical Advisory Committee meeting for the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization. The meeting is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 8 in the council chambers of Camden Town Hall.
TAC members are set to vote on two proposed amendments to the MPO’s existing FY 2015-2018 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as well as discuss and vote on the draft TIP for fiscal years 2016 through 2019.
One of the proposed changes to the existing TIP involves moving the fight-of-way phase of the Rt. 1/Northeast Front Street grade-separated intersection project ahead of schedule from FY 2019 to FY 2016. Delaware’s Department of Transportation has money available to pay for right-of-way costs earlier than anticipated.
Members of the Woods Haven Civic Association also are set to give a presentation about the proposed Northeast Front Street project, as the association members are in favor of DelDOT moving up the project’s timeline.
The other proposed TIP change involves the Rt. 1/Little Heaven grade-separated intersection. According to DelDOT’s financial information, the project’s cost has risen to the point that a MPO TIP amendment is necessary.
TAC members are additionally set to vote at the meeting on the MPO’s draft FY 2016 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), or annual spending plan.
This meeting is open to the public, which is encouraged to attend. Camden Town Hall is located at 1783 Friends Way in Camden, off of Voshell Mill Road and near U.S. 13. For more information, call the MPO at (302) 387-6030 or (302) 387-6026.
