Bingo! We have a winner! Absolutely correct. The multi-modal paths are able to handle a mix of vehicles as long as people navigate with care and SHARE the road. I don't mind a scooter on the paths as long as it is driven at about the same speed as the carts, i.e., don't be going 30-35 on the paths. Same for street legal carts, I don't mind those, either, with the same caveats. Pass when it is safe to do so, leaving a safe distance between passer and passed. All users of the paths, including bicycles, roller blades, walkers, carts, and scooters, should be aware of others on the path and try not to block passage in either direction.
