I'm not saying that a lot of people wouldn't been disappointed and unhappy about it, but at least we would know why it was done and we might have had some time to make alternative plans.

Here is why I believe it was done as it was done. Anyone with half a brain would know there would be a large out cry if they knew in advance the path would be closed. There is enough history on the path that there is a good legal case for not allowing the path to be closed under Florida Law. It would have been very easy to get an injunction against closing the path by a judge until the case worked its way through the court. All the time the path would remain open. Now close it immediately, get no permit to do so, and the path will remain closed while the whole thing works it way through the court system. How much money is everyone willing to spend to get the path open? How many years will it take?
