• Description:
  Since the mid-1990s, Wilmington, Delaware has been working to redevelop its waterfront, transforming the area from brownfields and declining industrial uses to a multiuse district. Completed and proposed projects include a river walk, wildlife refuge, museum, minor league baseball field, convention center, retail, and residences. Supporting these efforts, public entities have invested over $200 million and private entities have invested over $600 million in the area.1 Federal investments include Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) support for brownfields cleanup and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding for affordable housing. What is missing is a direct and convenient connection between the neighborhoods and developments on both sides of the Christina River. The area needs a way to connect activities on both sides of the river, improving access to jobs and other regional destinations.
