5 issues in roads with medium priority
Milford Ponds Streets Final Acceptance
Resolution 2026-17 would accept Milford Ponds Streets Phases 1-9 and 1-10A as city-maintained public streets, shifting maintenance responsibility to the city.
KCI Pavement Rehabilitation Proposal
Council signed off on a $90,200 KCI contract to evaluate, design, and bid paving work on nine city roads using FY26 street paving funds.
DelDOT Agreements and Pathway
The council was scheduled to authorize a DelDOT agreement for NE Front Street improvements from Rehoboth Boulevard to SR1. This corridor work could affect traffic and access for drivers and businesses on Milford's northeast gateway.
Banner School Area Flooding and Pond Expansion
A Northwest Fourth Street resident has dealt with flooding since 2018. The Banner pond study is complete — the basketball court stays, but the pond can only expand modestly — and a Fourth Street drainage project is in the FY25/FY26 budget with KCI evaluating the whole area. Public Works will meet with the resident.
FY25 road paving project
Seven roads rated poor in the 2023 assessment will get mill-and-overlay work, ADA ramps, curbs, sidewalks, and storm drain fixes this year. A new five-year road reevaluation is planned for this summer.
