So a new precedent was set. NOW, if you want to drive your golf cart in The Villages, you have to live in The Villages.

We really didn't need four thousand more golf carts on our trails that didn't belong to villagers.

I think they are doing the same about the tour buses. They are establishing a new precedent for some good reason other than competition. They sold off the Village transporation system and no longer run it.


So instead of 4,000 more carts you get 4,000 more cars and no tour bus parking - HAPPY NOW!

Before the closure of the Paradise access that had been used for many years with the approval of the Lady Lake Town Council, there were probably 100 or so carts a day from Stonecrest mainly going to Spanish Springs on the public roads; maybe a few went further and used the precious multi modal paths south of 466, aka Lower Eqypt.
