Brandywine Hundred Lawmakers Request Federal Stimulus Funding For Safe Pedestrian Travel Along Foulk Road
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 28, 2009
Contact: Stephanie Mantegna, House of Representatives, 302-577-8515

As part of an ongoing commitment to their constituents to ensure safe foot travel along Foulk Road, State Representatives Greg Lavelle (R-Sharpley) and Tom Kovach (R-Brandywine Hundred – South) are seeking DelDOT’s help – by way of federal stimulus funding – in getting a sidewalk installed on Foulk Road. The sidewalk would connect the area north of School Lane (Lombardy Elementary School) to Weldin Road.
Rep. Lavelle and Kovach – along with Senators Catherine Cloutier (R-Heatherbrooke), Michael Katz (D-Centerville) and Harris McDowell (D-Wilmington North) – recently sent a letter to DelDOT Secretary Carolann Wicks asking if the department could integrate a sidewalk component into a Pave and Rehab stimulus project already proposed for the same section of Foulk Road.
In the September 23, 2009 letter, the legislators stated, “(T)he installation of this section of sidewalk would give the residents of our districts uninterrupted safe pedestrian access to Lombardy Elementary School, Alapocas Run Park and the expanding interconnected greenways trails.”
The lawmakers further stated that the inclusion of a sidewalk will not only provide safe pedestrian passage for the walkers of Lombardy Elementary School, but will also give residents of many northern local communities, such as Deerhurst and Fairfax, perambulator access to the greenways, Alapocas Run State Park and the Can-Do Playground.
The Foulk Road Pave and Rehab stimulus project has not yet been accepted on DelDOT’s stimulus request list. The legislators’ intent, by writing the letter, was two-fold. First, they requested that the sidewalk component be added to the paving project. Second, they urged that the project be awarded federal stimulus funding.
