Default Directions from A to B via Cart AND Multi-modal?

I just noticed (I should've checked before, I know I know!) that there's no pool in my neck of the woods. The neighborhood pool is on the other side of the water tower. The regional center is on another "other side" of the water tower. Spanish Springs is on the other side of the golf cart bridge. As I was mapping directions to the pool, I figured I'd try and map directions to Spanish Springs.

BUT! Spanish Springs is only around a 1.5 miles away from my house. Well within walking distance and bike-riding distance!

I see how to get from my house over the golf cart bridge to Spanish Springs. But if I'm comprehending things right, that's exclusively for golf carts and foot and bicycle traffic is not permitted (or wise) up there. Am I correct on this point?

So, if I don't want to have to drive all over the place just to get 1.5 miles from home, how can I walk there? Or ride my bike there? Is there a walk light on 27 and 441 at Wales Place where it connects to Avenida Central? What about a golf cart tunnel and/or multi-modal to cross 27 and 441 at Morse Blvd where it connects with W. Boone?

Yes I know about the GPS. But I'm not looking for a play-by-play while I'm driving/walking/bicycling. I'm looking for written directions. When I'm driving, my attention is on the road, not on my cell phone. I don't do GPSs.
