IMO big waste of money for what you get. But, that’s me.
For those of us who live in the Fenney area, might it make sense to get a "street legal" LSV? For example, to get across Hwy 44 from the Everglades RRC, drive north on the short stretch of Warm Springs Ave across the turnpike bridge (a 35 MPH stretch of road), then transition onto the golf cart paths north from there to the Chitty Chatty bridge (when opened). This would avoid having to travel a long distance from Fenney to the Water Lilly Bridge (across the turnpike), then all the way back to the Chitty Chatty bridge to go to Lake Deaton Plaza or the villages along Morse Blvd.

Will the stretch of road from the Everglades RRC north across the turnpike bridge on Warm Springs Ave remain 35 MPH after all road construction is complete? If not, it won't be possible to drive a LSV on it.

Thoughts?
