Try locating a runner/pedestrian in a tunnel before dawn....Good luck with that ...they are simply coming out of nowhere. I blame The Villages because they know all of this because they designed it and yet they continue to ignore it.

Finally ask yourself this question: Would you design a multi-modal path that would place vehicles, bikes, pedestrian, etc together? I think it is madness
All very good points
