Default Re: Gated Roads
The reason the Marion county portion of TV is gated is because Marion county does not maintain the "main" roads inside of the Marion county portion of the Villages. We Villagers that live in Marion county have to pay for the maintenance so we do not want vehicles using our roads as a shortcut to get from the end if the Villages to Buena Vista. We prefer that they use the main artery (Rt 42) and take Buena Vista through the Villages.

We even had the buttons removed so the drivers could not get the gates opened from the central office but there is an ambiguous problem with FEMA and access so we had to put the buttons back.
