The City of Norfolk continues to invest in a safe, connected, multimodal transportation network. With nearly 60 miles of dedicated bike lanes, shared lanes and trails—and more added each year through the City’s Strategic Bike & Pedestrian Plan—Norfolk is paving the way for even more comfortable and convenient active transportation. Recent improvements include:
• Near‑completion of the Granby Street Bike Lane project between Willow Wood Drive and Admiral Taussig Boulevard.
• Final design work for new Ocean View Avenue bike lane extensions from Chesapeake Boulevard to Cape View Avenue.
• A newly launched study to add bike lanes and pedestrian upgrades along East Indian River Road and Campostella Road, improving roadway safety and multimodal connectivity in Norfolk’s south side.
As Bike Month rolls on, remember: safety is everyone’s responsibility. Across the country, severe crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians have increased, and Norfolk is committed to reversing that trend. Together, we can reach our Vision Zero goal of eliminating roadway‑related fatalities and serious injuries by 2050.
✓ Drivers: Share the road. Give cyclists at least three feet when passing, or change lanes when possible. Bicycles are permitted on all Norfolk streets—bike lane or not.
✓ Bicyclists and e‑scooter riders: Follow the same rules as drivers—stop at stop signs, obey traffic signals, yield to pedestrians and ride with traffic.
✓ Helmets: Required for everyone 14 and under.
Norfolk Bike Month is sponsored by Lime and presented in partnership with the City of Norfolk, Downtown Norfolk Council, Hampton Roads Transit, goCommute, Bike Norfolk, Elizabeth River Trail and our dedicated community partners.
