"But right now, we're in better hape now than we were last sumaer." T? h Ms. Barrett said the town should ilso consider paving a portion near j he west end campground, since here is a lot of foot traffic in that rea. Obtaining right-of-way permits for he path may be the "single biggest iroblem" of the project. Buck added.
