Newark moves speed camera to South College Avenue
Newark’s speed enforcement camera has moved to South College Avenue. The camera is located just north of the railroad bridge, near Ivy Hall Apartments, between Holton Place and Ritter Lane. It is aimed at northbound traffic, i.e. cars heading from the area of STAR Campus toward Main Street. The location of the camera is just a short distance past where the speed limit drops from 35 mph to 25 mph. For the first 30 days, drivers caught speeding will receive warnings. After that warning period, speeders will be mailed a ticket. Fines will be issued to any vehicle that the camera captures going at least 11 miles per hour over the speed limit, meaning fines will begin at 36 mph. Fines start at $31 and increase based on how fast the driver was going. Violations issued through the automated system are civil penalties. They do not add points to a driver’s license and do not impact insurance rates. The city has one camera and intends to continue moving it around between 15 approved locations. It was first installed on Hillside Road in March and then moved to Capitol Trail and later Casho Mill Road. As of September, the camera had

Why Migrating Birds Stop at Bombay Hook
At Delaware’s Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, falling tides expose mudflats where migrating shorebirds can feed along the Atlantic Flyway. At low tide along the Delaware Bay, water drains from the marsh channels, leaving stretches of mud exposed. That’s when shorebirds can get to the small animals buried just beneath the surface. A few hours later, water covers the same feeding ground, and the birds have to look elsewhere.

Proposal for townhouses on Possum Park Road draws criticism from neighbors
A proposal to build a townhouse community on Possum Park Road is drawing strong backlash from nearby residents. Neighbors argue the project will exacerbate traffic issues in the area and negatively affect property values in The Hunt at Louviers, where houses sell for upward of $750,000, and nearby Chanterelle, where some houses top $1 million. "Progress shouldn't come at the expense of the communities that helped build Newark and Delaware," said Lawrence Garrison, who lives in the Hunt at Louviers. "Responsible growth means building where it makes sense and not simply wherever more units can fit. Our hope is that our elected representatives would protect the safety and the stability and the quality of life that's established in the neighborhoods, and not ask those neighborhoods to absorb the consequences of unnecessary development." On Oct. 20, the planning commission voted against recommending approval of the rezoning needed for the project. City council will consider the rezoning request in the coming weeks. The project is proposed for a vacant 3.3-acre lot at 275 Possum Park Road. The property is next to the Encore at Parkside senior living facility – formerly known as Millcroft – and backs up to The Hunt at Louviers
