2011 thru 2014
340 total reported accidents
65 of the 340 occured on MMP's (all others on streets and parking lots)
12 of the 65 occured at night
65 accidents on MMPs over 3 years....average 22 per year = .022%
.022% (22 MMP accidents in one year) compared to 5.0% (5000 woodshop users).
Not a good comparison.
Assuming it was passed for a moment. Yes it would become a line item in the budget. That does not change the three options for finding the funding.

>based on priorities, like it or not; anything that affects .022% would not earn a spot in the budget....hence do nothing.
Since the striping will be either a numbers decision, one of the above must happen.
Or an emotional and or political decision neither of which changes the method of finding the funding.
We have the luxury of the developer being involved in much of what we enjoy in our Villages life style. So budgets, fees, adding projects or increasing costs are not readily apparent to us......as long as our fees stay the same....eh?
Budgeting is not a very popular subject because of the disciplines required to do it right.
Ya just cannot do everything EVERYBODY wants.
22 divided by 100,000 = .022 %

99%+ of all citizens in the US do not need handicap access to public facilities
Less than 1% do, yet billions have been spent to accommodate these unfortunate individuals.
Is that a "good comparison"?
