It was not until 1717 that the town was actually platted into lots, streets and a public green that exist to this day. From those early lots and streets, Dover has grown to be the largest and most populated City in the central Delmarva Peninsula. Today Dover is distinguished as the dominant center of employment, commerce, and cultural activities in Central Delaware. The 2000 Census found Dover and the immediate environs to have surpassed a total population of 50,000 people and thus became a designated Metropolitan Statistical Area. For July 2019, Dover’s estimated population is 38,058 while the population for Kent County as a whole is estimated to be 181,864 persons. The City has grown to an area of over 23 square miles, including 170.33 miles of roads, 226 miles of water mains, and 192 miles of sewer lines. Homes and businesses in Dover produce 40% of the sewage treated by the Kent County Treatment Plant each day. It is estimated that 70% of the jobs in Kent County are located in Dover. Currently, there are over 4,030 businesses licensed, and the estimated value of buildings within the City is more than 3 billion dollars. The preceding facts demonstrate Dover’s regional importance. Everyday thousands of people come to Dover’s shopping malls and stores, recreation facilities, hospitals, medical offices, four major colleges, hundreds of small businesses, and City, county, state, and federal government offices. Despite its size, growth, and regional significance, Dover strives to maintain a small town feel, celebrating attributes that make it a desirable place to live, work and do business. Dover’s residential areas remain tranquil and have retained their small-town feel. When recently polled, residents of Dover cited the design and size of the City, its historic buildings, and its small-town atmosphere as among the qualities they like best about living in Dover. Dover is also known for its parks, open space, cultural and recreation opportunities. It is these attributes that establish Dover position on growth and the use of land, as set forth throughout this Comprehensive Plan. Release DRAFT #1 – 10.1.2019 Page 1 - 1 Release DRAFT #1 – 10.1.2019 Chapter 1 Introduction Dover Comprehensive Plan 2019 CITY HISTORY Dover’s early history was one of slow growth. In 1730 it was said that no more than 40 families lived in Dover. In 1777 after New Castle was captured by the British, Dover became the Capital of the State of Delaware. Modest growth occurred in the 1790s after the construction of a State House bolstered Dover’s status as the State capital. However, Dover remained a small market and government town of less than 200 acres, centered around The Green. By 1838 no more than 600 people lived within the City limits. In 1855, a railroad line was extended to Dover allowing it to support a number of industries, including canneries that processed local produce for the large markets now accessible by train. The City experienced its first building boom after the Civil War. Commercial growth began to occur along both State and Loockerman Streets. Residential lots were platted further north and west of The Green, extending the City grid system with many new streets. The growth during this period gave birth to what is now the City’s Victorian Dover Historic District, a National Register Historic District. The Green itself was transformed during this period from a commercial square to the park-like setting of today. In the early part of the 20th century, Dover’s pace of growth slowed, some new industries joined the area and a few pre-World War II suburban style subdivisions were platted around the periphery of the City. It was not until after World War II that Dover began another building boom spurred by the arrival of several large manufacturing companies. By 1960, the City had grown to over 1000 acres, and yet this was just a prelude. Over the following ten years, the City added 8000 additional acres to its jurisdiction. Through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, growth continued at a consistently brisk pace. This was mostly due to annexations encouraged by a City policy of withholding services from areas outside the municipal boundaries. This policy enabled Dover to share in the fiscal and other benefits of new growth and allowed the City greater control over the character and quality of surrounding development. Initial annexation activity during this period was concentrated on the east and south side of the City. Later annexations were conducted on the north and west sides of town. Most of the areas annexed were utilized for residential purposes. However, another significant trend was the development of the US Route 13 corridor as a highway commercial area. Large tracts of land associated with Dover Air Force Base, Dover Downs, Delaware State University, Wilmington University and Delaware Technical & Community College were also annexed during this time. Through the twenty-first century, the City has focused on “infill” annexations of individual parcels and also annexations of larger tracts on the north and west sides of the City for residential development or for specific major uses such as with Dover High School and the Woodlands of Dover International Speedway. This time period also introduced new zoning classifications as well as several overlay zones through the City. COMMUNITY CHARACTER The result of this rich and textured history is that Dover today is a very diverse and

    Delaware Aviation System Plan Chapter 2 - Draft October 2019 ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM HE PURPOSE OF THIS CHAPTER IS TO provide the necessary database for subsequent phases of the System Plan. Pertinent data, regarding each airport/heliport and the area it serves was T collected from each airport and the appropriate State and local agencies. In addition to the data provided by these sources, information published by the Federal government and other sources required for comprehensive understanding of the existing aviation system was collected, tabulated, and reviewed. Maximum use was made of the existing system planning work, various existing airport master plans, and environmental studies that have been completed. From these data, the analysis of the existing system was developed. Inventory items included: Airport and Heliport Facilities Aeronautical Activity Fuel Sales by Airport Land Use Around System Airports Socioeconomic Base Statutes and Regulations Future Technology Of these items, the examination of State Aviation Regulations was used to determine whether an update is needed to accommodate funding for private airport development. 1. AIRPORT AND HELIPORT FACILITIES HE FACILITY INVENTORY RECORDS OF DELDOT (WHICH are used for the FAA Form 5010), were used as T one source of inventory data for airport and heliport facilities. Figure 2‐1 presents a map of Delaware showing the locations of each of the existing public‐use airports and heliports. Additional data and information were obtained through review of existing completed airport master plans, and those that are in progress. In addition to the data from published records, on‐site inspections of some of the system airports were necessary to inspect runway and taxiway pavement conditions.

  • Chapter 10 Transportation
    Chapter 10 Transportation Overview______________________________________________________________________________ Land use, growth management, and transportation planning are inextricably linked and have to evolve and grow together. Despite the fact that Kent County is not responsible for maintenance of public roads, it is responsible for land use policy and the ultimate demands on those roads. Transportation systems affect most significant aspects of human society including: Settlement patterns; Land development and land use; Economic activity; Goods movement and trade; Jobs and wages; Energy and resource allocation; Access to places of work, education, health care, social life, and commerce; General social equity; Environmental quality; and Overall livability of communities. Community outreach revealed that maintaining existing infrastructure, improving traffic flow, and improving safety are clear priorities. Given the wide reaching impacts of transportation systems, how well they function in turn affects the quality of the built and natural environment as well as the quality of life of citizens. A quality transportation system is also an essential element of attracting economic development. When developing a transportation plan, the overall net benefit with respect to environmental quality, growth management, land use, housing affordability, social equity, urban design, and economic development must be considered. Transportation systems encompass a wide variety of modes including automobiles, bus transit, bicycle, pedestrian, airplanes, trucks, rails, and boats. These modes are not necessarily mutually exclusive and, in fact, should be considered complimentary. Walking is the most basic form of transportation and when road improvements for vehicular traffic are contemplated, multi-modal paths for bike and pedestrian traffic should be included in the design. System improvements and expansion are expensive and complicated undertakings that are designed, constructed, and maintained through a combination of public and private funding.

Introduction The Metropolitan Transportation Plan update of 2012 identifies the priorities of the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) through the year 2040. It meets the requirement of the MPO at 23 CFR, part 450.322, and the Transportation Conformity Rule requirements of 40 CFR Part 93, Sections 106, 108, 110, 111, 112, 113(b)(c) and 119. 1.1 Plan Background This Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) serves to update the existing transportation plan adopted January 28, 2009. The MPO, in partnership with the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), our partner communities, and the public, continues to coordinate transportation planning and investments. The MTP horizon year was extended to 2040 to project future land use changes anticipated in the region over the next 28 years. The MPO’s first Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) was adopted in 1996. In 2001, the plan was updated through 2025. In 2004, an interim plan extending the planning horizon to 2030 was adopted to comply with federal laws on air quality. The 2004 interim plan supplemented the 2025 plan and served as a companion document until the 2030 update in 2005.

The City of Dover, Delaware has had a long interest in promoting safe and convenient transportation alternatives such as walking and biking. In 1997, the City developed its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan, which was incor- porated into the City's Comprehensive Plan. Through extensive public involvement, this initial plan provided an assess- ment of existing conditions for biking and walking in the City, as well as developed specific recommendations, an imple- mentation strategy, and potential funding sources. Since the adoption of the first plan, there have been numerous changes in the way that walking is viewed as a mode of transportation. Walking has taken on a new level of importance at the Federal, State and local levels, as transportation agencies have realized the effectiveness of this mode as an alternative to the use of a motor vehicle. In addition to the transportation benefits, walking provides measurable health, quality of life, environmental, and economic benefits to the local community. The graphic on page 3 describes these benefits in more detail.
