The first workshop will be held on May 2nd, 2023, at the Dover Capital School District Office Board Room at 198 Commerce Way in Dover from 5:30-7pm. The City of Dover remains concerned about the safety of students walking to the Dover High School on Forrest Ave. west of Mifflin Road. The workshop will outline recommendations to improve safety and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists in the Dover High School walk zone.

The second workshop will be held on May 4th, 2023, at Chesapeake Utilities on at 500 Energy Lane in Dover from 4:30-6:30 The workshop is part of the MPO study of Bay Road Pedestrian and Walking Trails. This study aims to improve pedestrian access to and from the Energy Lane facilities, including Bay Road businesses, DelDOT campus, Kent County office, Ben Hen Corporate Center, and the St. Jones Greenway.

These workshops will provide an opportunity for the public to learn about the studies, share their feedback and ideas, and provide input on the proposed alternatives.
