Dover City Council members are taking proactive steps to address traffic concerns in the community following a recent meeting on January 3, 2025. During the session, council members discussed the need for improved traffic calming measures on Salisbury Road, emphasizing the urgency of the situation for local residents.

Councilman Neal proposed a resolution to approve a rezoning request, which was seconded by Councilman Rosha. The discussion highlighted the importance of collaboration with state officials, particularly the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT). Council members expressed the need for the mayor and potentially the governor to engage directly with the community to better understand the traffic issues firsthand.

Dr. Subler, a council member, suggested drafting a letter to the governor to convey the urgency of implementing traffic calming measures. He emphasized that the council's request reflects the concerns of constituents and aims to expedite solutions to alleviate congestion.

The council's commitment to addressing these traffic challenges demonstrates a focused effort to enhance the quality of life for Dover residents. As discussions continue, the council plans to advocate for timely action from state agencies to ensure that community needs are met effectively.
