Milford/Slaughter Beach Shared Use Path Final Report

Date Posted: Wednesday, December 24th, 2025

The Town of Slaughter Beach joined the City of Milford on an application for a U.S. Department of Transportation Thriving Communities Program (TCP) grant to evaluate the feasibility of a shared use path along Cedar Beach Road (Delaware Route 36) in March 2023.  With support from the University of Delaware Institute for Public Administration (IPA) Grant Assistance Program (GAP) and several key stakeholders, a shared use path was evaluated for accessible transportation alternatives, supporting active transportation, eco-tourism, and regional livability.  A copy of the final plan can be found here: Milford-Slaughter-Beach-Shared-Use-Path-Feasibility-Study_w-Appendices_FINAL.pdf
