The danger is clear to anyone with good vision who actually drives the cart paths after dark.

Well, then why haven't the PWAC and ACC and other's involved in this fiasco come forward with a limited, specific proposal to line or mark just those specific areas of concern (curves/turns), instead of the entire 84 mi. (42 mi x 2 sides) of paths?? I've been on the paths during day/night, rain/sun/fog, and have never had a situation that "moderating speed" did not alleviate - period. Stripes, in any location, would not have helped had I pressed on at max. speed! Plus, add to that the totally negative (and I dare anyone to try and make the case otherwise!) aesthetic effect of adding more striping to the existing main roadway environment, and stripes are simply incongruous to what The Villages imagery is all about.
In fact, I'd be willing to bet (maybe a beer or two!) that should someone endeavor to develop and take a survey using only these two topics, they'd find that:
a) Those who are in favor of any kind of continuous/complete striping of all TV Multi-Modal Paths and most likely to also be b) in favor and proponents of all manor of lawn ornaments/garden gnomes!!
