Second Lets envision a map of The Villages and divide it into two parts both colored. The commercial district is green and the private residential district is red.
Green belongs ( owns, rents, etc) to the Developer and comprises his commercial interests which are open to the public. Green means go and all non-residents are welcomed.
The Red District belongs to residents who purchased a home at a premium, paid a bond and pay a monthly amenity fee which supports amenities such as rec centers, executive golf courses, multi-modal paths, etc.
Residents of Stonecrest ,etc had an equal opportunity to make such a purchase but chose otherwise. It would seem that breaching the red zone is the persistent goal of some residents of Stonecrest, Water Oaks, Spruce Creek, Oxford, etc.
Please don't get mad at us if we object and desire borders because we have and continue to pay our dues. The Villages is expanding at a rapid pace and we do not need additional traffic on our MMP, etc.

Wow Rubicon! That's sounds pretty absurd. The Stonecrest and Del Webb communities have their own Rec Centers, Swimming Pools, golf courses, clubs, fitness centers that are equally as nice. What ever makes you think that anyone else outside your Red Zone wants to use your facilities? That is paranoid thinking.
The Villages public facilities are available to everyone. That is great for insiders and outsiders. Retail businesses need all the help they can get.
This topic is about the use of the Duke Cart path for Villagers, Stonecrest, and Spruce Creek. The Villages Lifestyle is not the topic here.
