I don't think either side has the moral high ground in this incident. (mapquest link to the road/island in question)

The area in question is a road, which as noted would require joggers to run on the opposite side against traffic. On the other hand cyclists shouldn't be travelling at a rate of speed where they are unable to react to conditions on the road ahead of them. If you look at the island, you can see why there is an attraction for cyclists. Large swaths of open road with few turns and no grade.

It seems that both the joggers and cyclists want to take advantage of these roads because they are devoid of traffic. Part of the problem is that this is a park, which may lead joggers to asssume that the roads are 'paths' when they are not.

Perhaps it wold be wise to post signs for joggers to remind them to run against traffic. With only one bridge onto the island, people wouldn't be able to miss a large sign on the way in. Then perhaps post speed limits for sections of road where visibility is reduced. People should be able to get along, it looks like a great place to run/ride.
