Baynard Blvd. / Marsh Rd. DelDOT Traffic Pattern Update

On 2024/10/17 CCA Board received the below response from DelDOT regarding proposed traffic changes. This is the latest information we were provided and we will share further details if/when they are available.

”Earlier this year, DelDOT began survey work of the intersection of Marsh Road at Baynard Boulevard to develop potential improvements that will improve safety and traffic flow at this intersection. With the survey work completed, the department is now beginning the preliminary design of concepts that can be shared with the community. Our current timeline is that these concepts will be ready in the of spring 2025, and a public meeting will be held to present the concepts and solicit feedback from the community. Until that design work is completed it will be difficult to answer questions about what the proposed improvements would entail and the impacts it would have on surrounding properties.

The department’s preference is to wait until the design work is completed and a public meeting can be held presenting all the information at one time. After that meeting occurs, a determination will be made based on community feedback as to whether the project moves forward, and with which preferred concept design.”

Improvement of Marsh Road and Baynard Boulevard Intersection

Thanks all for your attendance at the Annual Carrcroft Community Meeting held 6/4/2024. It was appreciated to see many new faces and witness such engagement by our residents. One main topic of conversation pertained to a series of possible improvements at the Marsh Rd. and Baynard Blvd. intersection. There were rumors of a traffic circle or stoplight, and obviously quite a bit of concern about the outcome of this project.

Below is a compilation of info from DelDOT along with an “outdated” traffic study from 2019 (1st link) showing the then proposal. Additionally there is another page (2nd link) with the active status officially listed on their website that contains few details. In either case the CCA Board would encourage our community members to reach out using the contacts listed for details or to express any lingering concerns. The more voices they hear from the more opportunity we have to influence the end result.
