They don't want you in the power grid or the retention pond or on the path at over 12 MPH. They are not restricting use of the path or they could block it instantly.

Since I have not been back since late June I don't know if there are any new signs but there are two 7 foot chain link fences. One around the substation and the other around the Walmart storm pond. I think the fences are self explanatory. Also why would anyone want to enter a high voltage substation area unless you have a death wish. This whole controversy started a few years ago when someone damaged their cart on the path and attempted to get Duke to pay the damages. Soon after a fence was constructed to obstruct the path. After a lot of deliberation between parties trying to get a resolution were done. The end result was no one was going to take the on the liability. So the whole ordeal quietly faded into the wood work and that is where it should stay. Every time some one brings this up with Duke there is a risk the legal department dogs will wake and there is a good chance this time the fence will stay. Out of sight out of mind. I know you are curious about the the right way of handling this and that can be celebrated in these days but when it comes to this path please do not wake legal dogs.
