In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Dover Police Lt. Marn Speidel about pedestrian and traffic safety in Dover. They discuss the role of the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) in fielding requests and concerns from residents about traffic issues, the role of crosswalks, criteria for new crosswalks, traffic calming measures like speed awareness signs and refuge islands, speed limits, and balancing neighborhood traffic concerns with the public's right to use public roads.
In This Week in Dover History, we remember when President Theodore Roosevelt visited the city. He arrived by train and gave a stirring speech at Franklin Square to a massive crowd. Roosevelt emphasized the need for honesty, courage, and common sense in American life before departing to great fanfare.
