Mess of the Week! -The Piñones Bike Path

In 2001 the Piñones Bike Path was the Winner of FHWA 2001 Environmental Excellence Award for Nonmotorized Transportation.




Just 6 years later the same project was featured at the Mess of the Week in July 16, 2007 edition of the San Juan Star. Check out the photo on the lower right.







The caption reads, " The Piñones Boardwalk designed as a walkway and bicycle route along the ocean in Piñones is rotting away. Lack of maintenance on the structure is creating a hazard, to the point that some of the wood planks are already missing."
