I read the other day that "they" will not reopen that small portion of the cart path. Why, wasn't at all clear to me!
There may be something in the story (probably "rumor" is a better word) that they think the new street markings on east-bound Lake Sumter Landing are safer than having carts cross the street at that point.
It made sense, for a short time, to close while construction was going on, but this latest move makes very little, to me!
Perhaps it's just to add more things for us to talk about here on TOTV!
