This does explain why there is a relatively-large security screening area being constructed near the small west boat dock at the MK entrance:
I presume this will also be for walkers.

Is that the dock for the little "open air boats"? Took one of those small boats from Wilderness Lodge to MK last summer, the security area was tiny, but very fastThis does explain why there is a relatively-large security screening area being constructed near the small west boat dock at the MK entrance:

Doesn't everyone already know. Disney is building walk ways everywhere so guests can opt out of Disney Transportation for a $20 a day gift card.
If only. Property should be much more walk/run/bike accessible than it is.
It would be nice, but I doubt usage would be enough to offset the cost to build and maintain given the publics typical reaction to any two locations at WDW located more than a couple hundred feet apart.

Oh, no doubt, and Disney doesn't want to have guests walking near roads anyway. But there are other places on property like MK-GF that can connect with a sidewalk pretty easily without too much fuss. Such as CBR to Pop-AoA.

Wilderness Lodge and Ft. Wilderness use the middle dock. When in use, west is for the dinghies from Poly or the Grand.

That area past the docks for boats going to the GF and Poly, should have been the designated smoking area.

It's kinda irrelevant now, as Disney has already confirmed the existence of this walkway, but the application documents for this permit were finally uploaded into the system this morning. There's a brief bit of email correspondence that confirms the walkway and bridge, and the documents also contain the construction period for the project, putting the "compltion date" at the end of 2020 - so this might be ready for the busy holiday season on 2020 or it might not open until early 2021. I've included screenshots below, or you can download the documents yourself here:

Still keeping an eye for the South Florida Water Management District permit for this.

One more noteworthy tidbit... The e-mail correspondence from the permit application mentioned an "RCID Address Finder" - I'd never heard of that before and it sounded interesting so I went digging to see if I could find it, and sure enough, it's a really snazzy little tool. It already has the information for this project loaded into it and confirms that there will be two new bridges - a stationary bridge crossing the small canal near the Sago Cay GF building, and then a large swing bridge crossing the canal that's used for the water pageant and riverboat maintenance.
Below is a link to the tool. @danlb_2000, I'm sure you'll have some fun with it, assuming it's new to you. You can zoom and and get the address of basically every structure across Disney property, even all the individual Epcot kiosks, haha.

Interesting that the the screenshot from the "Reedy Creek Address Finder" web site appears to be centered on the area west of Floridian Way and south of Maple road. Not exactly where I would expect the path to go.

Definitely an error in that document.
... and the response from FDEP even says that it isn't a valid address.

It is the correct address per RCID it’s just not recognized by any other database. The location should be at the mouth of the canal.
