Concord Pike Corridor Plan

Design Collective prepared a master plan for the Concord Pike (US 202) corridor which stretches from Wilmington, Delaware to the Pennsylvania state line. The objective of the corridor plan is to follow up on the results of the US 202 Market Assessment which advocated undertaking a corridor plan to recommend physical improvements and governmental policies regarding transportation and land use. The corridor plan outlines policies, land use and zoning changes, design guidelines, infrastructure investments, and implementation strategies that will guide transformation of the corridor into a high-quality and attractive multi-modal corridor with provisions for future mixed-use land development and a focus on walkability, bikeability, and placemaking.

The plan addresses near-term and long-term solutions and policies with an emphasis on strengthening alternative travel modes and options, travel demand management, integration of coordinated multi-modal transportation and land-use planning, and promoting more sustainable patterns of development, while maintaining and enhancing existing neighborhood vitality. Several public workshops, stakeholder interviews, and agency meetings were held during the the process  to solicit stakeholder feedback and consensus building as a key element of the plan.
