It is not that hard to do and all of your problems will be gone. Maybe tell your neighbors too. Us bikers are not going away. It is not just a walking trail so get over that right away. I mentioned this to the people at Ezell about maybe putting up signs asking walkers to walk on the opposite side but like the rest of the recommendations I have made for the safety of our community it falls on deaf ears. Good luck.

They are referring to walking trails, where there is NO vehicular traffic at all. No golf carts, no cars. On walking trails, pedestrians -are- the traffic. You can't walk against yourself. The pedestrian has the right of way, and bikes need to take extra caution when passing them.
If everyone did what they were supposed to do, there'd be no problem. On a walking trail, everyone is on the right. There is no "against traffic." Bike riders call out or use a bell to alert pedestrians that they're about to pass, and dog-walkers keep their dog properly heeled on a short leash.
