The Bureau of Mobility Strategies is now finalizing the Route 15 corridor planning study. The first phase of the study, a Transportation Needs Assessment, was to identify what the transportation needs or problems are from Dover, Morris County to Frankford, Sussex County with input from the elected officials, municipal officials, county officials, large business owners, and local community group representatives within the corridor. This fall concepts were presented to address the problems that were previously identified as the second phase. These concepts were discussed both with local officials and at public meetings. At the conclusion of this study, the concepts will either go into a project pool to await funding availability or immediately move forward to the next phase, Project Scope Development.
