This isn't a final design, so it's possible it may be improved...I'm hoping they build a nice straight non-retarded MUT to the left of the fence--I would still question the skills of whatever person designed the sidewalk as is--I see no situation, where it is a well designed sidewalk.
I don't think it will change. It's actually really good design for its objective, its objective just isn't transportation. The objective is to create amenity space for the residents, and minimize the number of outsiders using the space. Even the originally design when the city approved the trail was very clearly not straight, and full of benches and fountains that were sold as "beautifying" the space.
It was very clear from the beginning it was designed by someone who views a trail as only for a recreational walk, and not for any sort of useful transportation/commuting.
