CONWAY — In May 2024, James Pietrangelo of Bartlett filed suit in Carroll County Superior Court, complaining that the state had paid nearly $2 million in federal dollars for land in Conway that was meant to be used for the scrapped bypass but which instead was made available for rec path.  

Pietrangelo said the state illegally gave the land to the town after he tried to buy it. At a hearing in December of that year, Pietrangelo, who is an attorney, said he felt the "clear option" was for the court to order that the rec path be removed.
