Seems like this could work, however, it would require a good number of stairs or a fairly long ramp that could be a challenge for all of our mobility challenged friends. I'm not just talking about folks with wheelchairs, but there are many among us who have difficulty with stairs because of arthritic knees or other impairments that restrict mobility.
I don't travel through Meredith every day, only some days during the summer months. Personally, waiting for pedestrians presents no issue to me as I generally never have anywhere that I NEED to be when I'm on lake time.
