Boulder previews Walk and Bike Month events, running May 30–June 27
Summary
Transportation planning staff previewed Walk and Bike Month activities for Boulder — including Walk 180, B360 at Valmont Bike Park, a bike show, dog walk and Walk & Bike to Work Day — emphasizing community engagement and city sponsorship of marquee events.
Steven Rijo, transportation planning manager filling in for Erica Amador, presented a lineup of events for Boulder’s Walk and Bike Month at the May 11 TAB meeting, highlighting community celebration alongside infrastructure awareness.
"Boulder Walk and Bike Month brings something new every year and always celebrates active ways to move around our city," Rijo said, then listed marquee events: Walk 180 East (May 30, 8:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.), B360 (June 7, 9 a.m., starting at Valmont Bike Park), Walk 180 West (June 13), a bike show at Vision Quest Brewing (June 17), a dog walk at Cottonwood Trail (June 20), Walk & Bike to Work Day (June 24, 6:30–9 a.m.) and the Walk 360 all-day event (June 27).
Staff asked the public and partners to help promote events and noted the city provides financial support for many activities because they advance multimodal goals. Rijo said last year more than 6,000 people participated in walk-and-bike activities and encouraged organizations to host breakfast stations on Bike to Work Day (signup information is available at walkandbikemonth.org).
Board members thanked staff for the update. Staff said they will use project newsletters, postcards, social media and partner outreach to publicize events and to coordinate messaging about related infrastructure investments.
The presentation closed with staff inviting questions and offering to follow up with additional event details and outreach materials for TAB members to share with their networks.
