.There are walkers in the villages that will say those lanes are not for walkers as there are walkers that will say those lanes are walker only. How many times have you heard that the walkers should move to the grass when a cart comes? Many areas beside the cart paths are private property and residents really do not appreciate people walking on their lawns
