High-I Partnership
Dickinson partners with the downtown organizations and stakeholders to plan, research, and advocate for healthy economic revitalization and safe, sustainable transportation initiatives. Dickinson College funded the “Road Diet” study which led to funding for alternative transportation support including traffic calming and redirection improvements, increased pedestrian safety measures, and the incorporation of bicycle lanes along the main throughways of the town.
