Bluffton’s Lions Way Bentley Road Pathway had it christening on Tuesday. The celebration recognized the .9 mile extension of the pathway project, now it its ninth year.
The event recognizes the pathway extension from Augsburger-Elm south along Bentley Road to the bridge near Kibler Street.
Prior to the Bentley pathway's existence, this heavily foot-trafficked road had no sidewalk or designation for non-vehicular traffic.
