City commissioners in Rehoboth Beach have given their approval to transform seven local intersections into four-way stops during their May 4th meeting, requesting DelDOT’s authorization to move forward with the traffic safety improvements.
The intersections slated for conversion include two locations along State Road: one at Hickman/Canal Streets and another at Munson/Grove Streets. Three spots on Columbia Avenue will also receive the treatment at Gerar Street, Fourth Street, and Third Street. Additionally, two Henlopen Avenue intersections at Gerar Street and Third Street will be modified.
Following the commissioners’ decision to implement these four-way stops, city officials will forward their signage and road marking proposals for the State Road and Columbia Avenue locations to DelDOT for review. The state agency has not provided a specific timeframe for their approval process. However, once DelDOT gives the green light, installation of stop signs, bars, and road striping will commence promptly.
Work on the Henlopen Avenue intersections will move more quickly, with road striping scheduled to start on May 11 for those two approved locations.
