It is interesting that in all of the discussions, I see lots of comments about money, safety, and none regarding the engineer's letter, where he commented about consistency in the golf cart lane marking, and possibility liability for NOT following the engineers study.. So my take on the situation is that with CDD4 and possibly CDD8 going rogue, they are creating a worse situation for ALL of the residents of these CDDs while providing a potentially limited safety improvement for the end users. Also, consider the situation where someone not real familiar with the golf cart paths goes from one of the MARKED areas to an UNMARKED area under less than optimal driving conditions. These locations maybe accidents waiting to happen.
I see both arguements, for and against striping, and I have no personal opinion, however, I am very concerned about the possibility of INCONSISTANT markings.
I hope all of the parties can get together and agree to a consistent solution for all of the paths.
Please do not shoot the messenger, thank you.
