Wilmington Opens NC's First Bicycle Boulevard

Saturday, North Carolina's first bicycle boulevard will open in Wilmington.

The Ann Street Bicycle Boulevard is part of the River to the Sea Bikeway, an 11-mile bicycle route that follows the Historic Beach Car Line, which carried vacationers from downtown Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach by trolley.

Officials hope the project will reduce traffic and pollution by providing appealing alternative to gas-burning vehicles.

Grand opening festivities will take place Saturday, 10am-1pm on Ann Street, between 9th and 10th Streets and will include giveaways, music, games, and activities.
