I'll happily share the multi-modal paths with anyone almost anyone. I do think that if an LSV is going to be on the path, it should be required to follow the speed laws for golf carts, not LSVs. So, if on the path in an LSV, I go about 20 mph, never faster. As a matter of fact, I think LSVs should use the paths -- much safer than doing 25 in a 35 mph zone. I've driven my scooter on the paths many times, but not when there's a lot of traffic using the paths. I keep it at 20 mph when I drive there. Some scooters are pushing it to do 30 mph, so they're really not going that much faster than the majority in the paths (and it certainly isn't difficult to keep a scooter at 20).
