This would create another shopping area like the one in Lady Lake were Best Buy is located that is not cart accessible (yes the Rolling Acres Rd is a little different issue but the effect is the same for merchants and shoppers alike).

If you read the attachment in the original post you will see that the specifically delineates different treatment north and south of SR44, north of SR44 golf carts are allowed on Wildwood streets with 35 MPH or less speed limits without the golf cart community restrictions, south of SR44 if it's not in a golf cart community, it's not allowed.
Silly me, I was making an assumption, that being with all of the recent property purchases, TV would be able to provide GC access to these shopping areas by a GC path at the rear areas. However, I do agree that if this is not done there will be areas cutoff from GC access. I guess we will just need to wait and see the final plans.
