It didn't seem to bother many people when the CDD 4 group started with the path striping issue, touting striping as being the safety issue of the century. The CDD 4 representative (s) clearly think they know more than safety experts consulted on this matter. And they seem to discount the accident statistics (facts) that point to causes of accidents of the MMPs , most of which center line striping would have not made a difference. Inattention for any number of reasons were cited as factors, much more than speed.
And now we have the CDD 6 Chairperson suggesting that regulating golf cart tire size is something that may be within their authority, even though her opinion is void of facts. I thinking some of our CDD representatives are dipping their toes into the water, testing the boundaries of their power. I personally want my elected officials to maintain what we have here in The Villages, and be mindful that it's our money that they are overseeing. I do NOT want any of them to become power players in The Villages.

The second meeting of the multi modal pathway committee meeting is this morning at 9 at the Savannah rec center. Their focus is on striping the pathways or throw out what other measures they can dream up. I attended the first one and just don't feel like attending today's. It was first interesting to hear people's ideas and feelings about the cart paths and then the absurd come out with " No villagers should be on the cart paths at night cause they are only on them because they are drinking." Really? Oh Well.
