Moultonboro Neck Bike/Walking Path

Since we all have to answere for choices in life.....I'd like to know who or what town agency made the decision to leave gravel between the road and the bike path.Clearly it was a huge waste of money.

Unfortunately the blame lies on the state. The state dictates how the roads and pathways are constructed. If you don't follow their mandates you can't proceed with construction. All town officials in Moultonborough and the pathway committee were firmly dedicated to providing a project that everyone in the Moultonborough neck area would use and be proud of. In spite of the problems with phase 2 why don't we hear from the many people who use and enjoy phase 1 every day? The stones on phase 2 are a definite problem that has everyone involved in the pathway concerned. My guess is that the solution will come from the town, not the state now that construction on that phase is completed.

I rode the "path" just yesterday. What a mess. Maybe the same people who did the roundabout in Meredith had a say in this project...seems like a HUGE waste of taxpayers money.

I haven't seen it personally, but from the pictures and the comments it wasn't just a huge waste of money but is also costing extra money by the need to continually sweep the gravel/rocks off the path.....
