June 2026

Hi {{ FirstName | title_case | default: 'Friend' }},

We just wrapped up an incredible Bike Month. If you want the full story, read our Bike Month recap here.

But we're already looking ahead, because we have some big news. Move-A-Bull City Open Streets is coming back on October 4th.

We're closing 1.2 miles of Blackwell, Corcoran, and Foster streets to cars, connecting the American Tobacco Trail and the Ellerbee Creek Trail through the heart of downtown. The corridor will be filled with activity zones for fitness, arts, wellness, kids, and more. All of it free, all of it open to everyone. 

Every day, people across Durham are biking, walking, and riding transit. Commuters, students, families, seniors. But our streets aren't built to make that safe or easy. Move-A-Bull City is what it looks like when we build them for people instead of cars. Come see our city the way it could be.

Head to moveabull.org to sign up for updates, volunteer opportunities, and more as we get closer to October.

We've also got a packed June ahead, including two more sessions of our Transportation Change Agent Training series and a free Learn to Ride clinic for kids. Read on for details.

Transportation Change Agent Training

June 2 and June 16, 6-9pm @ ReCity

June 2 focuses on street design, transit, and a walk/bike/bus stop audit along Mangum and Roxboro. June 16 covers selecting a winning campaign, reacting to government proposals, and workshopping your action plan.

Dinner provided. Childcare, Spanish interpretation, and Zoom available.
