Walkers with dogs need to keep them on a short, non-flexible leash, so they can not wander in front of a bike. If everyone followed proper etiquette, and did not think the pathway was dedicated solely to them, there shouldn’t be any issues.
The new walking path that starts from Lake Miona Rec Center does not allow bicycles. But it also does not allow dogs. Is that the one where this person was walking? As for the Multi Modal Pathways, people can walk there, but they aren’t walking trails, and you are right.
