Interesting idea but what about those residents that do not have a golf cart? Just because this is listed as a golf cart accessible community does not mean a golf cart is required to buy a property in The Villages. Would that not be discrimination against those residents that chose not to buy a golf cart? Also the comment by njbchbum is correct. You would never get the retailers to agree and if forced on them, they would leave, creating a tax vacuum. Can you close the roads off for special events? Yes, you can, but you can't close a public street off permanently unless you make them pedestrian traffic only and then fire and police, emergency services, etc. would still need access.
