In 2003, the Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) held steering committee meetings and public workshops for US 13 Corridor Enhancements in Smyrna. A concept plan was developed for the corridor that looked at several areas including landscaping, lighting, sidewalk, and crosswalk improvements. The public workshops were help to generate feedback on the concept plan and introduce new ideas for the corridor. After the public workshops were held a final outline for the enhancements plan was drafted.
