Delaware’s Blue Envelope Program

Through a partnership with the Delaware State Police, Delaware Association Chiefs of Police, University of Delaware Center for Disabilities Studies, Office of Highway Safety, and Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, the Blue Envelope Program is a free initiative that aims to promote safe, clear, and respectful communication between law enforcement and drivers with autism and other disabilities. There are no qualifying questions asked, and no identification is needed to participate. Delaware drivers and family members should visit their local Delaware State Police Troop or participating police agency to pick up an envelope.

WILMAPCO :: SIDEWALK GAP ANALYSIS AND PRIORITIZATION

About the Plan

WILMAPCO is completing a Sidewalk Gap Analysis for Cecil County, Maryland and New Castle County, Delaware. This project combines data-driven analysis with community insight to better understand and address where sidewalks are missing—and how filling those gaps can improve walking in our community. Working with communities across the region, we’ll explore:

• Where sidewalk gaps are located, and how they relate to where people walk or might want to walk
• How different types of gaps affect accessibility, safety, and comfort for people of all ages and abilities.
• Practical strategies to prioritize and fund investments to fill the gaps.

Get Involved

You can plan an important role by adding your insights to our interactive map. Tell us about the places you notice:

Your input will guide how gaps are understood and how future improvements are prioritized. By sharing your experiences now, you’ll help shape the conversations and decisions to come.

 

 

 

 

Woodland Run Project :: 23 October 2025 Update

 

 

 

 

Good afternoon Chuck, I hope you are doing well. This email serves as an update to the Little Mill Creek Stream Restoration project in the Woodland Run Park.

 

Over the past year, our Engineering team has been working through several permits required for this project. Obtaining those permits took longer than we originally thought, so the project got delayed. We finally worked through those permits and anticipate advertising the project for construction around Thanksgiving with construction starting around March 2026.

 

We know the dead trees have become an issue with the delay of the project, so we are proceeding with tree removal now instead of waiting for the project. Our Parks division is in process of hiring a contractor to bring down those dead trees this fall/winter. The trees will be left on the ground and removed during the stream restoration project.

 

Please let us know if you have any questions.
