Exactly. There are too many places where head on collisions can happen, with carts, walkers, and other cyclists. The tunnels and the Village entrances are problematic if you are clipped into your pedals. The residential streets are good as well as the roads with bike lanes. If you are a strong rider, BV and Morse are fine but a rear facing flashing light and rear view mirror are really needed. The roundabouts require caution as people sometimes merge into the circle without looking.

I would much rather use the residential streets. I have my routes mapped out where I can get my rides in without using the MMP.
