GUIDING PRINCIPLE #1 NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
SAFE AND ATTRACTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS AND VIBRANT COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
The catalyst sites illustrate physical strategies for transforming underutilized land to support community investment efforts.
There is an opportunity to enhance Northeast Wilmington’s position as a desirable location for new and growing businesses - and to better serve neighborhood residents by improving the physical appearance and viability of the key commercial and gateway corridors of North Market Street and Northeast Boulevard. Both corridors run east/ west and are well-travelled with the potential to become vibrant and unique centers of neighborhood commerce and activity. Vandever Avenue connects these key commercial corridors and is an important neighborhood link between the community assets and amenities on North Market Street and the Kingswood Community Center. All three corridors are DelDOT maintained roadways and require public realm investments including enhanced street lighting, tree planting, sidewalk improvements, crosswalks and traffic calming to facilitate safer crossings.
