I’m a casual bicyclist living in Well Point. The route that I pedal follows the MMP nearly exclusively. On several occasions, I have come up behind someone walking along the right-side of the path. I ring my bell several times to alert them of my approach. I give them a wide berth, of course, and note that they are wearing earbuds. Did they even hear my bell, my approach, or my “good morning” greeting?

Wasn’t it common practice to walk facing oncoming traffic? The cyclist (or golf car driver) and the pedestrian can each see the other’s approach. The pedestrian can be sure that the approaching ‘vehicle’ is giving them ample clearance.

I think that MMPs have room for everyone that chooses to use them.
