On the yearly survey, I always recommend putting reflectors on the multi-modal paths like what is put on the streets. The area in question (south of Stillwater on BV going around the park-like setting) is very dark and hard to navigate at night. I understand this accident didn't happen at night, nevertheless, I'd like more of us to recommend the reflectors on the paths when the next survey comes out. Night driving is a little more difficult for some of us, at our age, regardless of in a car or a cart.
The area south of BV near Stillwater is not the only multi-modal path that is dark and hard to navigate. For example, the tunnel that goes under 466A between BV and Canal concerns me. When coming from the north, there is a very sharp grade taking you down into the tunnel. There should be a warning sign signaling a sharp grade and to slow down. At the end of the tunnel, you have to pull the cart out into the multi-modal path in order to see cart traffic coming from both directions. There is a mirror there to help but it's not easy, at least for me, to use. To me, this was poor planning.
I also think the path following BV SOUTH from 466A has some other very dangerous, sharp curves. Reflectors would help us drive these paths safer.
