Jack Markell: Delaware has moved to the top ten of bike friendly states

Delaware is blessed with beautiful beaches, parks, & scenic farmland. Preserving and improving that quality of life is vital. In the years to come, Delawareans will be able to walk and bike to work because of the investments we are making today. Delaware is now in the top ten of bike friendly states, up from 31st four years ago. Our First State Trails and Pathways Initiative is connecting neighborhoods, parks, and downtowns throughout our state. The Pomeroy Trail connects Newark to White Clay Creek State Park. We're linking Lewes, Rehoboth and eventually Georgetown with a series of interconnected trails. We're enhancing and expanding recreational access to the Nanticoke River and Broad Creek. Projects like these improve our quality of life and make our state a magnet for talented workers.
