If the The Villages had sidewalks would it be as bad to sometimes have to clean up poop on the grass between the sidewalks and the roadway? Rather than a neighbors lawn.
This is a 'springboard' for discussion. Thank you. Marvinh

Most of the streets in The Villages that aren’t major streets have very little traffic, and walking there is easier than walking on sidewalks and probably safer. Sidewalks in established villages would be paid for by us, not by the developer, and most of us don’t want to pay several thousand dollars for our share of sidewalk. If dogs excreted on a grass strip between a sidewalk and a street, the dog owners would still need to pick it up, and it would still need to be mowed by the homeowner. So, I think sidewalks would not be a good idea.
