If the streets are indeed county streets, then they have to be open to the public. Does anyone know for sure if they are county roads/streets?

They are mostly county streets. The streets in the villas and in Marion County are private roads, but the county has been contracted to maintain them. Apparently Marion County has refused to accept ownership of the streets.
