Looking Back at 2015: This article was originally published on May 20, 2015.  It was the 6th most viewed Bike Delaware article of 2015.

In just a couple of weeks, college seniors will be graduating from college.

Back in 2010, though, they were still juniors in high school. And that is when Bike Delaware wrote its first article about the Wilmington – New Castle Greenway, a safe, direct, paved, flat and nearly uninterrupted non-motorized six-mile travel route between the Wilmington Riverfront and downtown New Castle

June 2: DelDOT Public Workshop on the final phase of the Wilmington – New Castle Greenway

While those now-just-about-to-graduate-college seniors were taking the SATs, applying to college, graduating from high school and then taking 4 years of college classes, we wrote 45 articles about finishing the Wilmington – New Castle Greenway.

Those graduating seniors are going to be off to new jobs before the project breaks ground. But, believe it or not, we are getting close. How close? Come see at this Public Workshop on June 2:
