UPDATE: Green Bay Road has been reopened.

Southbound Green Bay Road is currently closed in Hubbard Woods as cleanup is underway after part of the building facade fell earlier today outside Spirit Elephant. Fortunately no one was injured.

• Helmets are required.
• Riders under 16 must have adult supervision on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes.
• Class 3 e-bikes are for riders 16 and older.
