I have no idea where they were going or were they had been. They were all well dressed in business attire.
The Belvedere tunnel can be dangerous. If you are wearing sun glasses, better remove them when entering the tunnel. It is NOT brightly lit!

The tunnel is close to the Charter Schools, and kids often use the tunnel walking several abreast with their backs to traffic.

There is a pedestrian crossing on CR 466. Methinks the kids are just being a bit rebellious. Please watch out for them.
