This document is intended to serve as a resource for Delaware municipalities wishing to improve
the walkability of their towns and, in so doing, the activity levels and health of their residents. In
addition to conducting research, IPA staff and students are working with a handful of Delaware
towns to identify a study area. Each study area is jointly walked and assessed with regard to its
strengths and deficiencies. Phase one of this project will be completed in June 2007, with each
municipality having received a written report with suggested implementation items from IPA.
Also, potential sources of funding will be identified. During phase two, and possible subsequent
phases, the Healthy/Walkable Communities team will offer continued assistance to the initial set
of towns and begin the process with new communities.
