Bike Plan Outreach Survey


Your participation is greatly appreciated!

Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization is creating a bicycle plan for central Delaware. The plan will show where bicycle trails, lanes and other facilities connect, and where they need improvement. The MPO's region encompasses all of Kent County, plus the parts of Smyrna and Milford that extend into New Castle and Sussex counties. Public input is essential to the bike plan's creation.

Please fill out this survey and return it to the collection box, or mail it to our office. Your individual answers will be kept confidential. Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
