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?
I think that if it does come to a court case a decent lawyer would be able to get an injunction keeping the path open until the case is settled, seeing as how it has been open for 20 years.
