I'm a biker, and I think a centerline will make it safer for bikers. Now, many times, an approaching cart from the other direction will not hesitate to come into my side of the path to cut the curve or to pas others. I have had some very close calls with this scenario. the "expert" engineer that did the study stated that he witnessed the MMP in CCD4 with the centerline. He said that carts passing others crossed over the centerline and quickly got back in their proper lane as opposed to crossing over and then meandering down the wrong side of the lane for a greater distance. That was his logic for the centerline being unsafe!
