Yeah, I think you are right about there not being a walking path when there is an MMP.

In the Northern area, the 40 mph roads like Pinellas and Moyer have a crummy little sidewalk one foot away from the cart lane. In the Southern area, the 40 mph roads like Fenney way, Marsh Bend Trail (above warm Springs Road), and Meggison (past Sawgrass) have wide walking/biking paths several feet away from the roadway.

On Sunday we took a nice bike ride through Lake Denham and the new paths are great.
