BikeNewark continues its work on developing and implementing wayfinding signage for the city’s Newark Bikeways low-stress network. To date, six of the eight segments of the network are fully signed, with the remaining two bikeway segments to be developed and signed in tandem with planned city bicycle-specific improvement projects.
