I don't believe the engineering company was unprofessional and no one is making this accusation. They just looked a a very narrow set of data, Reported accidents and Florida statuorty requirements. This may be all they were reqested to do by the PWAC. They said striping was not warrented by the State of Florida and the accident data did not support side striping. They also said if The Villages chose to do side striping how it should be done and the materials.

I am a proponent of striping, but I agree it should be in all districts. I am bothered seeing district 8 going rogue. It is not making the situation any better.

I would like to see a more comprehensive traffic study conducted on the MMPs by a different firm specializing in traffic flow surveys. Kindof like a second doctor's opinion.
