I remember your cat. He was a pussy. He let other cats trespass in his territory.

What I know about the subject neither Walmart or Duke wants the liability. The Stonecrest POA in the beginning got the two sides together and then backed away to let them hash it out. There used to be updates on the negotiations from our POA. What happened to open this can of worms again? It went cold for a long time. Then there was a group that did a lot of volunteer work to improve the path. Did this bring this to forefront again? They moved the improvements as close to the Walmart fence as possible. The reason I thought was that Duke did not want people that close to the substation. If the Duke legal department believes some how they legally now have the liability by defacto they will close that path. I would have expected an internal memo that indicated anyone discussing this made it perfectly clear that people that used the path were trespassing. I've been involved with things like this in the past and as long as no one says something wrong, people just turn a blind eye. Once they believe it legally becomes a problem then Duke will have no recourse but to act on it. This is why I indicated do not talk to Duke and ask questions about the path because if some one gives out the wrong info its over. If I were Duke I would put a sign that indicates this is Duke Property and the path can be used at your own risk. Does not totally exonerate them from liability but gives them an argument should some one take them to court over the an incident. Guess I'll just have to see what's up when I get back down South. Not happy with any of this. Is there a new No Trespassing Sign put up by Duke that indicates no trespassing violators will be prosecuted? If so then you use that path and would be subject to arrest if they also informed the local law enforcement they want it up held. Closing this path has no positives associated with it.

Those with skin in the game should be silent to protect their own interests, those that have no interest need to ask yourselves, with all the things to do in the villages why do I read and comment on something for which I have no interest/skin?

Yep. Corporate America. We will have to let it play out. They don't want carts on their property, but they have to figure out how to accomplish that objective. |

So from Duke's point of view this is both a public relations nightmare and a potential liability issue they need to effectively manage. If I was on their Board the decision would be an easy one and the implementation post haste. I wish I could say it ain't so but thems the facts Last edited by rubicon; 08-26-2016 at 04:47 AM. |

Golf carts are still using the path every day. I'm sure that they are aware of this and have not taken measures to stop the traffic. Otherwise, they would have put up b arriers in order to prevent people from using the path.

I have learned so many things from your posts over time and I think it was you who used the term "red herring" and if I remember it right, I looked it up and it was about diverting the issue to another, or trumping up a portion of an argument. Many have said that it is a huge issue that many cannot drive cars and closing that path would severely limit their ability to work and get to the doctor. I have great sympathy for that argument, but again refer to Billethekids constant argument that the needs of the majority are usually addressed for many good reasons. I wonder just how many would truly and honestly fit into the category of not being able to get to work or to the doctor if they explored all options. Moving? Learning to drive? Having two cars? Using a cab? Asking a friend or their church for help? Carefully managing their money? I think it is convenient for many. There is the golf cart bridge that can take them to other doctors, other grocery stores. Of course I am talking about residents of The Villages as I type. I think I will stop there. Haven't yet had my coffee. I read many posts on this forum and continue to learn from the wisdom of others.
