PLANNING



On Thursday, Jun. 9, regional planner Autumn Scott facilitated the wrap up meeting for SRPC’s Building Coastal Resilience by Building Equity in Dover project. This effort allowed Strafford Regional Planning Commission (SRPC) and its partners to identify and evaluate the needs of Dover's historically underserved communities (HUCs) to improve resiliency and empower residents. It accomplished this through integrating proactive planning and capacity building with decision makers, to connect and align the goals of social impact organizations, citizens of Dover, and the City to equitably prepare for future climate adaptations. 

At this final meeting, SRPC and partners reconnected with the network of citizens and other stakeholders they had created throughout the project to loop them back in on suggested implementation efforts and next steps. Attendees, including Dover city staff, helped to validate the project’s outcomes and reframe recommendations where necessary. Through implementation of these recommendations, the project aims to increase participation opportunities and access for HUCs in Dover and promote strategies that consider HUCs at the core of planning practices. 

The project officially wraps up at the end of month. Learn more on SRPC’s website.

TRANSPORTATION

During the week of May 6, GIS planner Jackson Rand finalized this season’s traffic count dashboard. This updated platform shows active counts that are in the field, completed, remaining, or any that need to be reset. It is a useful tool designed so that municipalities and other interested parties can keep track of when counts are set in their respective towns or cities. 

New to this version, the dashboard now shows bicycle-pedestrian count locations. This correlates Strafford Metropolitan Planning Organization’s expanded efforts to collect these additional counts as it builds its active transportation program (take the bike/ped survey if you haven’t already!). 

The dashboard updates in real-time and will be maintained through the end of the traffic count season.  

To supplement this, view Strafford MPO’s historic traffic counts map, which is posted to SRPC’s ArcOnline page.
