We, of course, walked facing traffic. But I will never do it again.
Walking in the neighborhood streets is fine, so much safer. The thing that was so frightening today was the fact that once we were past Hillsborough, there were no options to get off the multi-modal path and onto a residential street.
A better plan would have been to go through Pinellas and Collier, but still you are faced with tunnels and areas where you cannot get off the path due to fences or tall landscaping up against the path.
On a week day it might have been safer, but I simply did not think it through and consider the heavy Cart traffic due to the Farmer's market. It was just so very unsafe.
