SITE ANALYSIS

Driving Forces

Downtown Dover has a few key roads that dictate the way pedestrians
and vehicles access the downtown area.

The main driving forces running north and south are, South Governors
Avenue and South State Street. These roads serve as access "to"
downtown Dover.
Streets running east and west that are key driving forces are West
Division Street, West North Street, and West Loockerman Street. West
Division Street serves as a high traffic through-way for trucks and
vehicles looking to access DE-8 (Forrest Avenue.) On the west side of
Downtown Dover, or US-13 to the east of downtown.
West North Street is a "back of house", low traffic street but still serves
as a way to get across Downtown Dover.
West Loockerman Street can be defined as Downtown Dover's "spine".
West Loockerman is identified as the activated Main Street of Downtown
Dover and consists of mostly retail and restaurant spaces.
