I would guess that the path they blocked up was a dangerous one because of the roundabout exit to Lake Sumter Landing.

The traffic gets pretty heavy at times and, if you were going to cross the street to go over the bridge, it could be quite treacherous with the exiting traffic.

We wondered the same thing and, after travelling that way quite often, reached the conclusion that it was closed for that reason.

This is only my opinion and I could be wrong.
