Governor Printz Boulevard Greenway
Why This Is A Priority
This project will fill one of the last major Greenway gaps in Delaware, linking the Northern Delaware Greenway with the Claymont Station Trail. The trail is planned as part of a larger corridor set of improvements for Governor Printz Boulevard. As a new sidepath where there is currently no sidewalk and only shoulder bike lanes, the project will improve safety and transportation options, while supporting sustainable economic development and enhanced neighborhood vitality.

About the Governor Printz Boulevard Greenway
Governor Printz Boulevard is a four-lane minor arterial that parallels I-495. Traffic volumes range from about 5,000 vehicles per day at the northern end to over 20,000 vehicles per day between Bellevue Road and Edgemoor Road. Southern portions of the corridor are served by DART Route 4 and 14. The corridor is identified as the planned East Coast Greenway route between the current Claymont Train Station and the Northern Delaware Greenway near Cauffiel Parkway. Most of the corridor has shoulders or marked bicycle lanes. There are very few sections with sidewalks and very few crosswalks. Overlooking the Delaware River, the corridor has a broad mix of residential, park, commercial, industrial and institutional land uses.
