The stairs are still there, but now they face north away from the direction of the pedestrian flow, rather than angling people toward it.
In theory and legally, the public pedestrian path still exists, but it is yet to be seen if people will sill use it with the extra twists and turns and the affect of walking right through the fine dining crowd.

A bit ....
Note there does not appear to be the easy access from the bridge to the River Walk - used to be a set of stairs on the SW corner, now you will need to walk up the ADA ramp for 1/2 block, then double back.
