The bridge width is 19 ft 4 inches according to the attached drawing. If you deduct a few feet for curbing and structural members it is reasonable to assume that the travelable deck area is about 16 ft, or the same width as the standard multi-modal path south of CR466. The bridge at Lake Sumter Landing and the bridge over 27/441 have a 10 ft wide golf cart lane. (I'll know the exact deck width tomorrow when I measure it.)

With a little bit of caution and COURTESY BY ALL there should be no problems with walkers, biker, and golf carts using the path.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
