Towers on Nottingham Green Delaware: A Hub for Cycling Enthusiasts

New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer has been recognized as a champion for cycling in Newark, receiving the 2023 Bicycle Friendly Community Leader Award. The award was presented at the Bike to Work Day event, which took place on 'date' and brought together local leaders, cyclists, and advocates for improved infrastructure.

The ceremony, held at Hullihen Hall, saw attendees gather at the south steps for a group photo with Mayor Markham, City representatives Mike Fortner, and BikeNewark chair Bob McBride. County Executive Meyer was praised for his leadership role in supporting local bicycle-improvement projects, including the Emerson Bridge project and the new trail project that will connect the bridge to the Pomeroy Trail (Newark's North Bikeway).

In his acceptance speech, Meyer thanked all the groups working together to improve bicycling in Newark and make cross-county connections a reality. He highlighted the importance of cycling in connecting communities across the county, as well as its numerous benefits for public health and environmental sustainability.

The event also featured keynote speaker Pamela Steinebach, DelDOT's Director of Planning, who spoke about ongoing projects aimed at transforming the city's bicycle infrastructure. Notable mentions included the I-95/SR896 interchange project, which will further enhance Newark's cycling network.

This recognition is a testament to Meyer's commitment to promoting sustainable transportation and community connectivity in Newark. As the county executive works towards creating a more bike-friendly environment, cyclists can expect to see positive changes in the area's infrastructure.
