Work is expected to begin soon on new pedestrian crosswalks at the intersection of Coastal Highway and Garfield Parkway, according to the town’s newsletter. The intersection is a busy corridor that experiences heavy foot and vehicle traffic, particularly during the summer months.

The project will include installing a new pedestrian crosswalk on the north side of the intersection, expanding access in an area where crossing options have been limited. Residents say the current setup has created challenges for pedestrians.

“It’s really difficult as a pedestrian, and I really worry about families, especially with small children,” said Michaela Greene.

Bruce Warner added that having only one crosswalk makes the intersection harder to navigate. “It’s just the one crosswalk there, and it’s tough for people. There’s a lot of traffic during the summer, so it’s a good idea,” he said.

CoastTV has reached out to the Delaware Department of Transportation for a timeline on the project and is awaiting a response.
