Ann Street Bicycle Boulevard opens in Wilmington NC

The City of Wilmington is constructing North Carolina’s first bicycle boulevard.  This concept, which originated in Berkeley, California, is a strategy whereby bicycles are given priority over motor vehicles on an existing roadway corridor. The bicycle boulevard will involve internal policy changes, as well as infrastructure components, which will include curb extensions, alley resurfacing, high-visibility crosswalks, pavement markings, and signage.

The grand opening of the Bicycle Boulevard will be this weekend, and the public is invited!

Saturday April 17th
10:00am – 1:00pm
at Ann Street
between S. 9th & S. 10th Streets

Festivities will include:
Face painting! Music! Games & activities! Bicycle safety training! Bicycle and helmet give away! Bring your bicycle!

To win a FREE bicycle, you must attend safety training which begins at 10:30am. Bikes are provided.
