I am also in district 8 and I am not in favor of striping.
It seems that there are many who are of the opinion that there is no downside to striping, so why not give it a try. It has been identified that side striping will increase risk to pedestrians and bike riders. Pedestrian vs golf car = pedestrian injury. This to me trumps any concern of a golf car driving off the path into the grass.
Inconsistent paths would not be good. Some with center marking. Some with side striping. Some with none. A confused system of our own doing.
For these two reasons, I believe that a liability would be created that we don't want.
