Hopefully this is a temporary solution and there are plans on building a bike lane in the park itself or something like that.
Better Naito (the 2-way cycling/pedestrian lane) during commuting times and, especially, Festival season gets quite a bit of use. Maybe more importantly, it keeps fast commuters and roadies off of the waterfront path. The waterfront path is a really wonderful place to walk as well as ride really slowly, but for those who want to cruise without dodging walkers, runners, etc, Better Naito is a pretty slick solution.
