Lots of people travelling quite long distances to golf courses, Rec centres & shopping.
Maybe a couple of trees would have to be removed to accomodate cart path but the Villages always do their best to retain trees whenever possible.
I agree that TGR St. Charles junction would require some traffic control, but that is not beyond management.
I believe that the Villages plan would have been the best we could have had.
Lets not be NIMBY's
Wildwood may already have a golf cart ordinance.
There were several beautiful live oaks in the Fruitland Park development. One day they were all gone. Poof. Maybe in the past they tried to save them.

People are traveling long, indirect distances because not enough tunnels are being provided, so they have no choice. If I were really committed to traveling everywhere in a golf cart, I would not buy in those areas. In this particular case, it's really inexcusable, IMO. The developers always say the goods and services will come to the new areas. In this case it's already there, across the street. Yet they would have to go miles out of their way to access it. What are they thinking? It has to be a dollar thing.
