New Castle County government will hold a panel discussion on traffic impact requirements for land development hosted by the Department of Land Use on Wednesday, October 18.
The event will be held from 4-6 pm at the Route 9 Library and Innovation Center, located at 3022 New Castle Avenue, New Castle, 19720.
The public is invited to the event.
Panelists will include transportation, economic and engineering professionals and civic leaders.
The event will kick off with a review of how New Castle County considers the vehicular traffic impact of proposed development (known as Level of Service standards) in the planning review process, issues with its implementation, information on what other jurisdictions do and potential ideas to consider for addressing some of the criticisms of the law.
This will be followed by a panel discussion, questions from the audience, and interactive polling of the audience.
“Public participation is vitally important to our shared future,” County Executive Matt Meyer said. “Please attend this informative presentation and panel discussion.”
