This is good news that the bikeway path will finally be improved. I ride that section all the time and much of the time it is not suitable for road bikes due to the gravel and pieces of broken pavement lying on the path. There are also places where a mailbox sits on the path, another place where someone selling eggs has blocked the entire path with a sign and chest of eggs and a third area where a steep gravel road washes debris into the path forcing cyclists onto the roadway. For spending so much money on the path it was not well designed and is not well maintained. I often ride on the pavement due to the poor design and maintenance of the path and love it when cars honk at me. Can't wait for the gravel strip to disappear. Any word on the middle section and whether it will ever get completed? I know it is challenging with the hills but more people would walk or ride if there was a safer way over those hills.
