Learn more about the Bike
Corridor Pilot Project
Drop by Olympia City Hall on
March 30th between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm to learn more about the Bike
Corridor pilot project. The Open House will be held in City Council Chambers.
Bike Corridors are streets
that have been retrofitted to be more inviting for people riding bikes. These
streets have low car volumes and speeds, so it’s easier for people driving and
riding bikes to share the same lane. We are building one because people have
asked for an easier way to bike around town. This is one way we can make our
city a friendlier place to bike.
The pilot project will
connect the eastside neighborhood to
downtown from Lions Park to Sylvester Park. After it’s been constructed, City
staff will ask where other Bike Corridor routes should go.

Spring is here, and the Bicycle Commuter Contest is coming up!
Come
celebrate the completion of HUB Junction (the new bicycle roundabout at
the intersection of the Chehalis-Western Trail and Woodland Trail) with the contributing jurisdictions this Thursday, March 17 at 2pm. There will be a short program followed by a commemorative photo around the HUB. Yay for our trails!!
This is an
easy-paced, family bike ride on streets and bike trails. Prizes and
snacks provided. We'll practice riding as traffic and following the rules
of the road. Bring a bike, helmet, and a parent/ guardian if under 18.
