State Rep. Ronald E. Gray (R-38th), whose district line stops at the middle of the Indian River Inlet Bridge, called out DNREC officials for a lapse in shoring up the dunes last time, in March.

“DNREC has dropped the ball,” said Gray. “They thought they had done enough in March. We are trying to get DNREC to do this advanced dredging, and they need to be more proactive.”

“Our delegation is trying to get a meeting called with DNREC and DelDOT to get

During this time of the year, we like to calculate absorption rates in order to understand whether we are trending in the direction of a buyer’s or seller’s market. We compare the pace of sales over the previous 12 months to determine how many Months Supply of Inventory is for sale.

Generally, a balanced market would have 7 months of inventory while more would be a buyer’s market and less a seller’s market. At this time, both single family and condo/townhome property types in Bayside continues to be well under a balanced market, staying in a seller’s market due to good buyer activity.   While condo/townhome inventory is growing, it remains a seller’s market for all property types in Bayside!

This is the time of year when we calculate absorption rates in order to understand whether we are trending in the direction of a buyer’s or seller’s market at the beach. We compare the pace of sales over the previous 12 months to determine how many Months Supply of Inventory is for sale.

Generally, a balanced market would have 7 months of inventory while more would be a buyer’s market and less a seller’s market. The market is clearly shifting as all areas moved in a favorable direction for buyers. We continue to stay in a seller’s market from North Bethany to South Bethany, but growing inventory in Fenwick Island has shifted that area into a buyer’s market.

A new pedestrian pathway was recently constructed in Bethany Beach along Collins Street, a portion of Kent Avenue and Wellington Parkway. While the project took approximately three months to be completed, many years of Bethany Beach Town Council discussions and subsequent planning were required to bring this new passageway for pedestrians and cyclists to life.

Bethany Beach Town Council Member Mickey Hinman is a strong advocate of the recently completed project, and he says this is just one of many steps he and other members of the town council hope will improve overall pedestrian safety in Bethany.

The recent improvements to the corridor allow cyclists and pedestrians to be separated from traffic, which
