I've been for a few evening rides and walks, but just went for my first daytime trip up it on New Years Day. It's actually nice for pandemic walks with friends because its wide enough to keep an appropriate distance. On the holiday, it was quite busy. Several recreational cyclists riding for exercise and a number of families, couples and single people walking up and down.
I wonder if it will be more popular for recreational/ exercise purposes than for commuting. All 5 or 6 trips I've made up and down it so far have been recreational, and it's a great exercise option for the thousands of people who live nearby. I can bike from Jackson Square to the far West 5th end of the access and back in less than a half hour, so it's a unique combination of convenient access, nature and legit exercise.
