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.

What you say could be true, but I have neighbors behind, two doors down, and across the street from me who have also been here 12-18 years and have never paid any kind of cart fee to maintain cart paths. None of these people play golf and have never had to pay a cart fee ! I too found it strange the very first time I went to pay my annual cart fee, why (?) I was not given some kind of annual sticker for the cart (had that in other golf communities (not retirement communities) where we've lived during our working lives. But here, have always been told, no sticker needed because it only comes into importance when you check in to play GOLF....other wise, no fees have to be paid because the only time it is checked is when you check in at the started shack and it shows on screen if you are paid or not ! ?
