ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES WHO PARTICIPATED IN DEVELOPING THIS PLAN Corridor Management Plans for Byways are designed to reflect the vision, goals and recommendations of the members of the general public participating in the development of the Plan. While DNREC, DelDOT, Sussex County and the City of Lewes and the other governmental entities participating with the public agree in principle with the Plan and its recommendations, it must be understood that these same entities face many different and sometimes competing priorities, a changing regulatory framework, and funding challenges. As a result, the recommendations contained herein that are assigned to an entity for implementation may be implemented on a different schedule or in a different form than anticipated in the Corridor Management Plan or, due to unforeseen circumstances and regulatory requirements, not implemented at all. Nothing in this statement should be interpreted that any of the participating governmental entities are withholding support of any of the contents of the Plan. APPENDIX 4: TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT REPORT The Traffic Management Report included as Appendix 4 of the Corridor Management Plan is a planning study intended for the identification of issues and areas needing more detailed attention. When developing strategies pursuant to these issues, other transportation projects and in the mitigation of the traffic impacts of development, additional transportation and traffic studies should be performed pursuant to good engineering practice and regulatory requirements.

Parking is easily available but is no longer free for PhACT attendees at CCP events. The Saturday parking rate is $3.50. Enter the college parking lot on 17th Street which is one way south bound. This meeting site is handicap accessible. This PhACT event is free and open to the general public. Dr. Goertzel‘s talk will include claims on both sides of the global warming issue, that the other side is censoring, and will discuss conspiracy belief in general. Conspiracy Theory is an immensely rich topic as our lives are surrounded by various conspiracies great and small, malevolent and good natured. Some are sinister such as political intrigues and criminal plots to discredit or defraud. Others are harmless, such as the silliness of UFO claimants and those elaborate schemes to carry out a surprise party. (Continued on page 2) One of the greatest delusions in the world is the hope that the evils in this world are to be cured by legislation.
