Idea/Comment:
Sharrows are little understood by cyclists and drivers which results in a serious safety problem and slowing traffic flow.
Serious cyclists acknowledge that sharrows are not a solution for cyclist safety or driver awareness. The City should avoid having sharrows replaced as repaving takes place. https://momentummag.com/sharrows-used-to-make-sense-in-theory-but-are-now-useless-in-prac | https://www.bicycling.com/news/a20044419/what-are-sharrows-used-for/

Idea/Comment:
Downtown RB has been lacking a grocery store for over 2 years. Is there anything the city can do to facilitate a grocery in Rehoboth?
Could the city provide an incentive to potential grocers; institute a co-op system for a grocery; or entice Lingos to reopen. Even with all the obvious negatives of the past management, Lingos market is sorely missed.

Thank you for sharing your idea with us. While the city does not generally recruit specific businesses, your comment was shared with our new planning and community development director.

Idea/Comment:
Why isn't there a requirement in City Codes that contractors engaged in a demolition project, must take measures to prevent or reduce airborne dust and debris? Ex: demo currently in progress at 315 Laurel: Yesterday the air was full of visible particles dust & dirt from wood, wallboard, concrete, paint, shreds of insulation material, and who knows what else. There's a fine layer of dust over our vehicles, decks, shrubs, etc., not to mention the hazards of breathing this stuff. Today the wind was blowing to the north, so neighbors on Munson got the dust... In other areas, I've seen contractors wet down the debris to reduce the amount of dust flying around. Why isn't that a requirement here in town? With so many demolition projects being approved in the neighborhoods, I think this issue needs to be addressed.
Staff Feedback:
I reached out to our public works and building and licensing departments, and there are indeed regulations requiring contractors to minimize dust and debris. Thank you for bringing this particular situation to our attention. We will reach out to the contractor to remind them of the need to minimize dust and debris.
