Back It Up

Delaware Street Reopens on Schedule

Four weeks after the first breaker hit the asphalt, Delaware Street has reopened as promised with streetcar tracks from 3^rd Street to Independence Avenue, a pedestrian median at 5^th Street and several new red crosswalks.

In addition, the parking configuration on Delaware Street has changed. On-street parking is now on the east side of Delaware Street and is back-in angle parking, or reverse angle parking, between 3^rd and 5^th Streets. Motorists are encouraged to “Back It Up” into the parking spaces. New signage is placed in the area to help alert motorists of the change. Prior to track construction, on-street parking was on the opposite (or west) side of the street.
