One of the goals of the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay is to promote higher density development along highly traveled river corridors that feature multi-modal options. Amboy Road offers bike, boat, bus, and auto connections to get to work, to visit other neighborhoods and to conserve energy and access the French Broad.
