Delaware County officials are addressing concerns regarding the design and dimensions of local cul de sacs during the recent Public Works/Public Utilities Committee meeting. The discussion highlighted that the current cul de sacs in the city measure approximately 48 feet across, which is notably smaller than the standard sizes typically seen in the area.

Committee members noted that this size is less than half of the smaller cul de sacs and just over a third of the usual dimensions. This discrepancy raises questions about accessibility and safety for emergency vehicles and residents alike.

The committee is expected to explore potential solutions to enhance the design of these cul de sacs, ensuring they meet community needs and safety standards. As discussions continue, residents can anticipate updates on proposed changes that aim to improve the functionality of these critical roadways.
