What is a Walkable Community Workshop?
A Walkable Community Workshop is an interactive community workshop designed to bring together key stakeholders such as residents, land owners, elected officials, and professionals together to focus on issues related to walkability. This is part of an effort to make our communities more pedestrian friendly.
Who has organized this Workshop?
This workshop is presented to our community by the Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO) and the City of New Castle.
What will we do at the Workshop?
WILMAPCO staff, trained in conducting Walkable Community Workshops, will serve as facilitators. Workshop participants will learn about successful pedestrian design, safety, education, enforcement, and encouragement. A walking audit of this target area will help us understand and identify obstacles to walking for residents and suggest potential short-term and long-term solutions. This Walkability study will focus on the Historic downtown area of New Castle. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the weather that day.
