We are hovering now at 140,000 residents. That is lots and lots of golf carts with the potential for many accidents.

I imagine the reason you can't get IN, is because you don't live here and pay fees.
What I observe is somewhat ironic. 98% of cyclists blow through stop signs, about 75% of cart drivers, and less than 10% of car drivers, and yet these are basically all the same people. The ironic part is that those who are most vulnerable to injury on a bicycle are the least likely to follow the traffic directions that are designed to avoid accidents.
