Yakima Greenway Ribbon Cutting
Join us at the Greenway intersection along 40th Avenue and Fruitvale at 11:00 AM for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrating the completion, or near completion of the Greenway from 40th Ave. to Naches. There is a short walk scheduled, no ride because the path will not likely be complete, I believe the weather has slowed them down a bit. This is a great victory for the Yakima cycling community, come out and show support.
