Wilmington to New Castle Bicycle Highway

Phase 2 of the Wilmington-to-New Castle Bike Highway (aka the New Castle Industrial Track) is not yet built (though it has been funded) and Phase 3 (the last phase) has not even been funded, but Phase 1 was built this summer with ARRA funds. And, although it’s still incomplete as a bike commuter route between Wilmington and New Castle, it’s already a wonderful amenity for the adjacent neighborhoods, as well as for the kids of the Family Foundations Academy school, which is about 10 yards from Phase 1’s southern terminus in New Castle. On a recent warm Fall day, those kids were out and about enjoying the path right outside their school door.
