I would NOT like to see bike paths on Chappy. 
I am not interested in working with the bike path group, although if we have to have bike paths I hope they would not end up looking like the bike paths on the Edgartown- Vineyard Haven Rd and the Katama Road, which have lost almost all the grass on the strip separating the path from the main road. This is a real eyesore. The remedy would be to have greater separation , enough to allow trees and natural vegetation to remain as a real buffer between the two. I would think many property owners along the road would prefer this even if it meant giving up a few feet of their property because the outcome overall would be so much better looking and could actually afford more protection from the road.
