Bluffton chamber members heard an update on Bluffton's comprehensive bike and pedestrian pathway at the June 8 chamber breakfast. Dick Ramseyer, chair of the pathway board, told the 60-plus chamber members attending that several steps have taken place since the board formed.
The board is pursuing two paths at the present time. One connects the Riverbend- Maple Crest community to Bentley Road. The other connects the Triplett Bike Path near the National Quarry to the State Route 103 business sector via the abandoned AC&Y Railroad right of way.
