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.

The bikers and pedestrians were against the middle striping and reflectors. I haven't heard anything against side striping. And the striping isn't really needed during the day, but at night, it would sure help! When on the many dark stretches, it is scary when there is an oncoming cart. The lights totally blind you. And add rain to that mix......not safe.
