The South Portland Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee will host “Share the Path – Greenbelt Education Day” on Saturday, August 15, 2025. This collaborative event is focused on promoting respectful, safe, and enjoyable use of the Greenbelt Trail.
The event brings together community partners and trail users to raise awareness about trail etiquette and shared responsibility on this vital public space.
When: Saturday, August 15, 2025 from 10 AM to 2 PM
Where: Key locations along the Greenbelt Trail, with an information table at Mill Creek Park
Why: To encourage safe speeds, respectful interactions, and awareness of proper trail etiquette for all users
What to expect: Temporary “Share the Path” signs will be posted in high-speed areas (e.g., near Domino’s and Wainwright Fields). Volunteers in bright green vests will be stationed along the trail to promote visibility and safety. An information table at Mill Creek Park will welcome trail users.
The Bike-Ped Committee will be joined by the following community partners:
- South Portland Sustainability Department
- Bicycle Coalition of Maine
- Age Friendly South Portland
The goal is that all Greenbelt users are aligned in mutual respect and shared understanding, and where “Share the Path” is more than just a message—it becomes a community value. Through education, visibility, and advocacy, we hope to foster a culture where everyone feels safe, welcome, and respected on the trail.
