The path is not wide enough for two bikes or a bike and pedestrian to pass safely. It can only be considered a single file path, and is actually quite dangerous if used like most cycle paths. There will most likely be accidents due to the poor planning and design. I predict cyclists will not use the new path for this reason. Very disapointing.
Thank you for raising your concerns about the path. When I was there last week, in the middle of a week day, it already seemed to be well used. I did raise the narrowness of the path with officers, I understand there were compromises for planning reasons.
