I like that the Districts do not have policing powers but then I like less government and so ,and while respectively submitted, I resent your attempt to imposing more rules and regulations on the rest of us
The police can and do check for golf cart speeders on diamond lanes. I certainly do not want to waste taxpayer money for some officer to issue a senior a speeding ticket for going 21 mph.
My cart is set at 20mph so that you understand I have no self interests here
Now for some history, and since I am late to this thread surprised that another poster had not mentioned it.
The fact is for the first few years that I lived here ( moved in 2006) the local sheriff's department would periodically advertise they were sponsoring golf cart racing. Now why would a local sheriff's department sponsor racing to see who had the fastest carts? I assure you I never bit
In summary please consider a live let live attitude here because all we really want anymore is not to be managed we had enough of that while raising our families and tending to our occupational pursuits.

It’s a discussion or debate on a forum. I don’t resent anyone with the opposite point of view. Actually, I am not sure I would be on your opposite side and am learning more about TV all of the time from comments by old timers to TV. I was trying to understand the enforcement of rules or lack thereof on the multi-modal paths as some TV district managers are suggesting changing them.
Why have rules when they can’t be enforced? As many of the rules on the path can’t be enforces, are they rules or guidelines. I feel it might be more precise to suggest that people not go over 20 on the paths than to say they must not. I believe that many people who live in TV chose to live in a community that already has more rules on the books than I previously thought possible.
How long must I live in TV to be able to say something? We do have the notion of free speech in America and debate on all issues should be allowed to take place. As some people will always have less experience than others, are they then to be excluded from the discussions or debates? A fresh examination by someone new is sometimes good.
As we get older, many times we become set in our ways. I hope I can always have an open mind to examine new ways of doing things. I certainly don’t mean to offend anyone by my current beliefs and opinions which may change over time.
