Because there are no sidewalks, I see a lot of people walking in the street where they can be hit by cars. Instead of spending money on a sidewalk along 44 - where very few people walk - wouldn’t it be better spent in the residential areas where thousands walk every day??
The sidewalks on State road 44 are not put in by The Villages. Agree they seem wasteful, but I don’t want them here either. Unnecessary, plus we are too much like a city already
