Really, really great article gents.
It's an awesome amenity, and a really great step in the right direction for Jax.
Got a chance to check it out Saturday at RAM. Amazing views, particularly of the Cummer's gardens, that you can't get anywhere else. Walked from RAM, across the SUP, past all the hospitals, grabbed a scooter at MOSH, and then rode across the Main Street Bridge, through the CBD, past Brooklyn, and back to RAM. The combo of the pedestrian bridges and scooter share really opens up pretty much everything from the sports district to Riverside, which is just fantastic.
From the press preview photos, it looks like a dashed centerline was added after FDOT took their video.
Curious, from the photos in Mark Wood's article, if there is heavy bike traffic, is there enough clearance for pedestrians to safely use the path? I wonder if maybe there should have been a bit more width to physically separate pedestrians from bikers. Comments?
It's totally fine. I'd imagine Saturday - during the well publicized grand opening - will be one of the more densely populated days for a while on the path, and there was plenty of room for everyone. So long as bikers watch their speeds on the declines and pedestrians are alert (e.g. not staring at their iPhones), I don't think clearance is going to be a big issue.
