Years ago I suggested, on this site, that the Villages sell gate passes to our neighbors who support the villages. That money would be used to maintain the cart paths. The card users would have prove residency in a surrounding community like Spruce Creek South or Stonecrest. Both communities have great residents ! I don't know if the southern villages (South of 44) this plan would be good.
Have you not read all these comments? We PAY for all the golf cart paths, pools, rec centers, etc. We do not want people from any other communities to come in to use these roadways and facilities. We don't care if you do or don't want to shop or eat in The Villages but you may if you wish. You must walk or drive a car to do that. The Villages is not your neighborhood playground.
