Seems to me that increased golf cart access would be better than increased automobile traffic especially since gas is reaching all time highs.. And for what it's worth the traffic, auto or golf cart goes both ways. For every one coming into TV there will be a corresponding number of carts leaving to go shopping in new shopping center and if it becomes accessible, the New Sam's Club on Hwy 441. Carts going to Rolling Acres Shopping Center to Target, Carrabas and Outback, etc from TV has been areal benefit.

I have no idea what was meant by..."some Villages officials see plans for increased golf cart access as an undue burden on current Villages residents".

Can someone explain that? What undue burden are they talking about?
