Concerns Over New Bike Trail in Lewes

Don Rush

In Lewes a new 1.5 mile portion of the Breakwater Junction bike trail has some home owners concerned.

The new addition to the 7.5 mile trail is aimed at making it easier for bicyclists to get to the state’s southern coast.

WBOC reports that a number of homeowners say they are concerned about where the extension begins at Gills Neck Road.

Mary Anne Murray who lives nearby told the station that without a shoulder lane and with the added traffic there is a potential for an accident.

Among her concerns was the speed at which the cyclists come out of the trail making it easier for them to smack into a driver.
