Bethany Beach, DE — On Thursday, the Town of Bethany Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee approved of a new plan called “WAVE.”
The acronym stands for:
Watching, being careful where you're going,
Assessing or evaluating what you're seeing,
Verifying what you see is true, and then
Entering an intersection, or entering a sidewalk.
"It'll start small, but over the years, it can grow to be successful," Dan Rosenblatt, a retired policeman, said.
The Town of Bethany Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee approved the idea, but the plan is still on path to becoming official.
Rosenblatt says he wants WAVE to raise awareness through stickers, branded helmets, and flags with the WAVE logo on them, so people get the message.
He says they are hoping for WAVE to kick off in as early as Fall of 2022.
