In that case the've clearly broken the law. No widening of the pathways, although it was quite wide to begin with, I'll have to get my tape measure out!
They did put in solid posts, right in the middle of the divide, with the signs showing which side your supposed to walk, I can just imagine some cyclist running into them. Litigation heaven.
