As reported by WBOC, "The State of Delaware received a Federal Railroad Administration Corridor Identification and Development grant to study the feasibility of extending passenger rail service called "Diamond State Line" south through Kent and Sussex counties to either Salisbury or Berlin, Maryland."

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) will be hosting the first public workshop for the Foulkstone Pathway project to discuss alternative designs for improving the pathway between Foulk Road and Saddler Lane.

This project was identified in the US202 Masterplan and Monitoring Group to improve regional bicycle connectivity and submitted by WILMAPCO to DelDOT for prioritization in the FY26 Bike/ Pedestrian Program. The project was moved forward into design for its value in facilitating connections from where people live to parks, schools, transit, employment, and community centers by bicycle on ‘low-stress’ streets and pathways.

The public workshop will be hosted at

Brandywine Hundred Library

1300 Foulk Rd, Wilmington, DE 19803

Tuesday October 13th

6:00pm to 8:00pm.

The presentation will begin at 6:10pm, followed by facilitated group discussions to gather feedback on preferred design alternatives or ideas for how to harmonize the project with community goals. Afterwards, the project team will be available for individual discussion.

Interested persons are invited to express their views in writing. Comments will be received at the workshop or can be mailed to DelDOT Community Relations P.O. Box 778, Dover, DE 19903, or sent via email to dotpr@delaware.gov. 

This workshop location is accessible to persons having disabilities. Persons who require auxiliary aids and services such as qualified interpreters are requested to contact DelDOT by phone or mail one week in advance.

As reported by The Conversation, "Air pollution in particular is a pernicious problem in the U.S. and globally because of its diffuse and transitory nature. And, while air pollution is mostly regulated at the state level, almost half of all air pollution-related deaths are from pollution produced in neighboring states – including vehicle-generated pollution."

As reported by NPR WHYY, "The Trump administration is repealing limits on greenhouse gas emissions emitted by the nation's fossil fuel-fired power plants. The head of the Environmental Protection Agency called it the largest deregulatory action of the U.S. power sector in history."
