  • Underground Railroad Byway Delaware
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 3.0 Intrinsic Resource Assessment The following Intrinsic Resource Assessment chapter outlines the intrinsic resources found along the corridor. The National Scenic Byway Program defines an intrinsic resource as the cultural, historical, archeological, recreational, natural or scenic qualities or values along a roadway that are necessary for designation as a Scenic Byway. Intrinsic resources are features considered significant, exceptional and distinctive by a community and are recognized and expressed by that community in its comprehensive plan to be of local, regional, statewide or national significance and worthy of preservation and management (60 FR 26759). Nationally significant resources are those that tend to draw travelers or visitors from regions throughout the United States. National Scenic Byway CMP Point #2 An assessment of the intrinsic qualities and their context (the areas surrounding the intrinsic resources). The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway offers travelers a significant amount of Historical and Cultural resources; therefore, this CMP is focused mainly on these resource categories. The additional resource categories are not ignored in this CMP; they are however, not at the same level of significance or concentration along the corridor as the Historical and Cultural resources. The resources represented in the following chapter provide direct relationships to the corridor story and are therefore presented in this chapter. A map of the entire corridor with all of the intrinsic resources displayed can be found on Figure 6. Figures 7 through 10 provide detailed maps of the four (4) corridors segments, with the intrinsic resources highlighted. This Intrinsic Resource Assessment is organized in a manner that presents the Primary (or most significant resources) first, followed by the Secondary resources.

    2018-2021 DNREC Capital Plan Investing in Delaware’s Conservation Economy STATE OF DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL Offi ce of the 89 KINGS HIGHWAY Phone: (302) 739-9000 Secretary DOVER, DELAWARE 19901 Fax: (302) 739-6242 April 10, 2018 Investing in Delaware’s Conservation Economy Members of the Bond Bill Committee, I am pleased to present you with a copy of DNREC’s 2018-2021 Capital Plan, which lays out our vision, composed of a series of key projects, each of which demonstrates that strategic environmental investments help drive economic prosperity and growth. By providing sustained funding for these critical infrastructure needs, we will help strengthen Delaware’s economy, while we improve the health of our environment. Through the leadership of Governor John Carney and the support of the Delaware General Assembly, we have focused on continuing investment in the environmental infrastructure that supports tourism, recreation, and public health and safety. By purifying air and water, mitigating fl ooding, and supporting diverse species, as well as providing recreational amenities, we generate millions of dollars in economic value. Outdoor recreation options, such as biking and walking trails, can help reduce health care costs as Delawareans adopt healthier lifestyles – and more than 60 percent of our residents now participate in outdoor recreation. Visitors come to Delaware to experience our pristine beaches, navigable waterways, rustic landscapes, world-class birding, hunting, fi shing, biking, and hiking. Clean air and water and memorable recreational experiences are vital to attracting visitors and new companies, as well as retaining businesses and their top talent.

  • Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions
    Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway Delaware Chapter 4.0 Background Conditions The designation of a roadway as a State of Delaware Byway or a National Scenic Byway should not impede the intended purpose of that roadway to safely and efficiently move goods and people. Therefore, as part of this Corridor Management Plan (CMP), it is important to evaluate the current/existing and future conditions of the roadway being designated. Displaying, summarizing and analyzing existing data pertaining to roadway physical characteristics, traffic volumes, levels of service, accident locations and other significant data will assist with and provide awareness of the various operational and physical characteristics that should be considered during designation and implementation of the Scenic Byway. This collection of data also familiarizes the reader of this CMP with the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway roadway characteristics. These characteristics should be considered in corridor planning efforts and future decision-making. In addition, the data serves as a baseline for any future analysis on the impacts of Scenic Byway designation and implementation of projects. 4.1 Roadway Characteristics The corridor generally travels northeast from southern Delaware at the Maryland/Delaware border, picking up where the Maryland Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway terminates, through Dover and Wilmington before heading northwest and terminating at the Delaware/Pennsylvania border. The total length of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway is approximately 98 miles. This Corridor Management Plan (CMP) has divided the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway into four (4) segments to assist with the review and graphical representation of the corridor analysis. The corridor segment maps are shown in Figures 2 through 5.
