Reopening of Broad Street Celebrated with 'Lope the Loop'

On Saturday, 176 Mobilians biked, ran, walked, rolled, and strolled the Hank Aaron Loop to celebrate the official reopening of Broad Street as part of the inaugural "Lope the Loop" Fun Run/Walk.

Since 2019, the Broad Street Revitalization Project has invested more than $21 million into the roadways, infrastructure and amenities along Beauregard, Broad and Canal streets.

This transformative effort has rebuilt these major corridors from the ground up — replacing decades-old infrastructure, improving roads, connecting neighborhoods and making downtown more accessible to cyclists, pedestrians, and wheelchair users.

Seeing residents of all backgrounds and skill levels enjoying Broad Street and all the improvements made over the last four years was truly rewarding. If you missed this year's event, you don't have to worry. Lope the Loop will be back next year as improvements to the Broad Street corridor continue.
