MPO, City of Dover to Hold Final Parking Study Workshop
A parking study for downtown Dover will see its third and final public workshop before recommendations go to Dover City Council for review.
At the workshop, the MPO, the City and consultants will show:
· Study conclusions - what the study did and did not find
· Recommendations for parking areas in downtown Dover based upon study results and comments from previous workshops and from area stakeholders
· Maps showing recommended changes, such as signs that point the way to available parking
· Maps showing recommended areas for streetscaping and reallocation of permit-only and public parking
· A timeline of the remaining steps in the process.
The downtown Dover parking study began in 2016 with a 10-member group that included stakeholders representing business, residential, municipal and other interests downtown. The main scope of the study for the 10-block area was to find out, using hard data and research, whether there is enough parking in downtown Dover, how to communicate locations of available parking to visitors, parking fee structures, and if more parking areas should be constructed.
"As Chair of the Safety, Advisory and Transportation Committee, I eagerly look forward to receiving the long awaited comprehensive parking assessment for the City of Dover," Dover City Councilman Brian E. Lewis said. "Critical to this process is community and stakeholder input. I encourage everyone to participate at the August 24 public workshop at the library from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m."

Veterans Trust Fund benefit at Harvest Ridge Winery
Kate Gleeson of eXp Realty, Delaware, is working with Sarah Bradley and the generous folks at the winery to host the event. The two women were part of last year’s fundraiser at Fordham Brewing in Dover and want to continue their work for veterans.
"Last year's event was such an inspiration, I just didn't want to see it go away. It's an honor to help such a wonderful organization," said Ms. Bradley.
A $10 entry fee gets visitors their first glass of wine, with half going to the fund. Each glass afterward is paid per glass with tips to celebrity bartenders going to the fund. The bartenders include Ms. Delmarva Veteran Stephanie Harrison, State Representative Sean Lynn, Ross Sheridan of Painted Stave Distilling, and pinup personality Ginger DoGood.
“The bartender with most tips gets his or her name inscribed on a brick at the Kent County Veterans Park in Dover,” said Ms. Gleeson. There will be a 50/50 raffle, gift baskets and items to be auctioned off, plus food available for sale from The Hungry Spork food truck."
