“It’s pretty impressive,” Howard Zickler said as he rides the newly widened and paved Ben Burr Trail between Liberty and Underhill parks Tuesday, Aug 30, 2016. The project has been controversial, and is still getting mixed reviews now that the wider, smooth pathway has nearly been completed. (Colin Mulvany / The Spokesman-Review)
