Interesting point comparing multi-use paths to stroads: "MUPs often try to serve both people enjoying a place (like with streets) and people trying to get somewhere else (like with roads). If the path gets crowded, has poor visibility around corners, and people moving at significantly different speeds, then it fails as both a recreational amenity and a transportation route."
Still, I'd rather bike lanes be added to roads without MUP's first.
