I had no idea this was happening, and I'm not sure who's side I'm on. For one, I don't ride the Westchester County Trailway very often anymore because I'm not crazy about the parking situation at the south end of the path (I'm from Nassau County, LI). Starting the paved bikeway inside Van Cortland Park sounds like it means being able to access the path by using the LIRR from my town. Am I right? On the other hand, the runners and walkers have a good point about soft dirt being easier on the back and knees.

I'd like to know what you all think after reading the Times article linked below:
