Tuesday, April 15, 2014 – 4 PM to 6 PM
DelDOT Admin. Bldg., Farmington/Felton Room

The proposal calls for (by County):
New Castle County:
- Minor time changes on Routes 10, 15, 32, 33, 54.
- Route 15 – last weekday trip leaving Rodney Square at 10:45 PM would end at Christiana Mall, serving Cavalier Apartments.
- Route 32 – Wilmington Trolley would be extended out Delaware Ave. to turn around at N. Harrison St., providing service to Capital One, adding a stop on Delaware Ave. at Adams St.
- Route 65 – DTC is negotiating to transition operations to Cecil Transit beginning July 1, 2014. Proposed alignment would be finalized with Cecil Transit, serving the same areas and adding service to Shop Rite off SR 896/Four Seasons Plaza. If negotiations are unsuccessful, DTC proposes elimination of the route on July 1, due to consistent low ridership and not meeting productivity standards.
Kent and Sussex Counties:
- Route 107 – minor routing and time changes on Saturdays.
Schedule proposals are available for public review at most libraries, state service centers and at the reception desks of DART First State offices and the DelDOT Administration Building in Dover, and online at www.DartFirstState.com.
