Who is involved and What is this ballot?
Residents from your community have proposed a new raised crosswalk on Stanton Road, as a Traffic Calming measure to address speeding and to provide a safe pedestrian crossing.
Why am I receiving this ballot?
DelDOT is conducting this ballot for all residences located to the west of Stanton Road as well as along potential detour routes to measure community support or opposition, and to solicit comments on a proposed raised crosswalk.
How does a DelDOT Traffic Calming ballot work?
DelDOT’s Traffic Calming Program requires at least 15% of distributed ballots to be returned in order for a raised crosswalk to be considered. DelDOT would then approve the raised crosswalk if at least two-thirds (66.6%) of returned ballots are in support. If approved, construction funds will be requested from the sponsoring legislator, and the project will be submitted for construction.
Where would the proposed speed hump be located?
Residents and DelDOT are in general agreement that a raised crosswalk just south of 600 Stanton Road would be proposed for this ballot, as shown on the ballot mailed out to residents.
