If either of those were a valid Project Wide concern, then why do we have raised pavement markers anywhere in The Villages? Put these markers in the middle of every path. Walk on the left edge facing traffic; bicyclists keep within your lane (on the right). No one stumbles. No falls from bicycles. No need for super-bright lights to see which way the path weaves up ahead.
Majority of walkers are NOT going to walk on edge facing traffic especially it walking in group

Just paint center line with reflective paint like the do on roads. But, I sure there some waddler that will blunder onto paint claim they slipped.
