As a rider, in situations like the divided multi-modal path, it's important for the rider to own that narrow path...ride in the middle but keep up a reasonable speed. Move to the side once you are clear of the divided portion. That may not make the cart folks happy, but everyone stays safe. Legally, vehicles are required to give bicycle riders 3 feet of clearance to pass...that is not possible in the divided portions of our multi modal paths.
