- Just to remind everyone there is a New Castle County Listening Campaign meeting tomorrow at Cranston Heights Fire Hall

- Just to let everyone know as we have it set up now the snow is automatically plowed at 2"

At under 2" of snow it is at our discretion to plow or not

- If we could please ask that people Check to make sure their storm drains in the street are clear so the wintery mix has some place to melt .

COUNTY EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCES 12-STOP LISTENING CAMPAIGN

NEW CASTLE, Del. – County Executive Chris Coons, Council President Paul Clark, and members of County Council will begin a countywide listening campaign on Thursday, January 22, 2009, that will visit each of the 12 Council Districts in New Castle County.

Each session will consist of a presentation on County services and the financial challenges that lie ahead, followed by a group discussion. County officials and representatives from each County department will be present to answer questions. The feedback officials receive from the public will help shape the budget that the County Executive presents to Council in March.

“The 12 sessions of our listening campaign will provide an opportunity for us to hear from the public what they value and what they are willing to pay for,” said County Executive Chris Coons. “I believe these sessions can and should be positive and constructive as we take a hard look at every aspect of County government.”

Because of declining revenues, the County’s general operating budget deficit is projected to grow to nearly $40 million next year. The County’s total operating budget for FY2009 is $240 million.

Traffic Shift on Route 141
Set to Start Tuesday, January 20

Wilmington – The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) advises motorists who use Route 141, that Tuesday, January 20 and Wednesday, January 21, traffic will be shifted from the old pavement to the new pavement. This means that four lanes of traffic will be open, two lanes in each direction, on the eastside of Route 141.

This traffic switch will allow work to begin on the old pavement on the westside of Route 141. Four travel lanes will be maintained after the switch, which will last for one year.

Expect delays between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while work takes place. The traffic switch is weather dependent. Message boards have been set up notifying drivers of the shift.

The Route 141, Kirkwood Highway to Faulkland Road, project is designed to improve safety, relieve congestion, improve and add pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and enhance the area’s aesthetics. Greggo & Ferrara, Inc., a New Castle-based construction firm, began construction in fall 2007 and will continue through 2010. Landscaping will take place in 2011.

For more information, visit DelDOT’s Web page dedicated to the project at www.de141.deldot.gov or tune to WTMC-AM 1380.
