DelDOT will install more bumpouts in Dewey beginning in September. Officials said bumpouts would follow the same pattern as this one installed on St. Louis Street in June, but the bike lane will be at least 5 feet wide at each bumpout location for an adequate bike lane. (Ron McArthur)

At a Dewey Beach town commissioner meeting, state transportation officials announced that a project to make Dewey’s sidewalks more accessible will begin later this month. The changes include installing rapidly flashing lights at crosswalks with no stoplight and adding traffic-calming “bump-outs,” which extend from sidewalks partway into the shoulder of the road.
