If you live, work or travel frequently through the Concord Pike (US 202) Corridor, you'll want to read the Concord Pike Monitoring Committee's Summer 2024 Newsletter. It shares what was discussed by Delaware Greenways and our fellow committee members, during the 2023-24 year.

A highlight of the newsletter is the Committee’s Annual Report. Contained in the report is a summary of transportation and land use conditions and changes within the Concord Pike (US 202) Project Area, including how the projects in the Concord Pike Master Plan are being implemented. We'll continue to work toward making this important road corridor safer for all methods of travel.

June workshop attendees review project data.

We're proud to announce that Mary Roth, Delaware Greenways' executive director, has been selected as a recipient of Delaware Business Times' Mitchell Award!

This special recognition is for "individuals in the First State who have demonstrated leadership and success in building bridges between communities despite race, gender and social status.

Named for the late Delaware civil rights pioneers Littleton and Jane Mitchell, the Mitchell Awards showcase those who are championing efforts to educate, inspire and impact communities across the state. This award is intended for those who work tirelessly to create opportunities for all Delawareans." Read the announcement.

We'll be celebrating Mary, and the five other exceptional individuals receiving Mitchell Awards, at a ceremony in October. Please join us in congratulating Mary for this well deserved recognition of her tireless and impactful work! Congratulations, Mary!
