How would it be if our highways had no striping on them down the middle or edges. How horrific would that be? Well, MMP's ARE OUR GOLF CART HIGHWAYS, and they need to be as safe as they possibly can! Sure carts go slower than a car, but they don't provide any protection in a wreck like a car with airbags.
In fact, I think The Villages should have recognized this on their own and striped them from day one. After all, they make a lot of decisions without asking for our vote, and it usually costs us. I VOTE YES for striping, which means YES FOR SAFETY! Probably won't cost us as much as a couple of beers or Big Mac each year.
