It's not legal but I don't understand why it cannot be made so.

Why not allow golf carts to cross as pedestrians do? Push the button, wait for the walk signal and drive your cart across next to the crosswalk.

I used to live in Silver Lake and it drove me crazy that I would have to drive two miles in my golf cart to get the the CVS that was less than a quarter mile from my house.

It's crazy that the only way across is the bridge. When we had the hurricane and 2017 and the cart path was flooded, they allowed crossing at Wales Plaza. Why not allow it all the time?
