thank you blackie. This subject matter has taken place on these pages several times over the years.

It surprised me how many people, people who drive on a daily basis, do not understand the rules of the road.

some people are unaware that this Developer/county learned as (it) built.

The situation on the north side is a atrocious given that they built with few sidewalks. this is especially so in places like Rio Grande and DelMar

Apparently experience taught the Developer /county to build more sidewalk wider diamond lanes. But to what avail?

People walk/ jogged on the diamond lanes with sidewalk right next to them and challenged you stop your cart or pull to the left lane into traffic to avoid them.

People complain about speeders ( carts going 1-5 mph faster) but ignore this serious situation . My pleas had been for the sheriff to ticket these walkers and joggers and for the expressed reason of jay-walking.

People express their admiration for what the Developer wrought but I have always said that a well planned community would have provided for bike/walking trails separately and not on the MMP

MMP and diamond lanes should have been strictly for golf carts . Why? Because this is the largest golf cart community in the nation, dare I say world

OK I got it off my chest

Personal Best Regards:
