In November, the Bluffton Lions Foundation announced the extension of the Lions Way Bike and Pedestrian pathway on County Line Rd. from the intersection of College Ave.-Bern Rd. to Jefferson Street-State Route 103. The new 1/3 mile segment will be constructed in 2022.
Pathway construction will follow an AEP pole replacement project scheduled in advance of June 1, 2022. Site engineering, including rights-of-way and power pole relocations with AEP have been completed, at no cost to the pathway project. Detailed engineering projections put the cost at $150,000.
