Would you be interested in taking parts in a survey concerning car key gated Entry in the Villages? One of the suggestions being put forward is the idea to have the entry gates work just as the exit gates do where the gate is lifted based on the presence of the vehicle and does not require the use of a card key. This is based on the premise that the gated entries there are for the protection and safety of those people using the multi Multi modal path so the vehicles do not speed through the entry, but rather are forced to stop and look both ways before crossing the multi Multimodal. Other perceptions are that the card key provides some additional level of security for the community, but this seems somewhat counter to the observations that anyone pressing the red button at the entry gate gets access. Even those were an attendant is in place the attendant simply keeps the guard gate open on the visitor side. I do not see any checks for balance is there for who gets in and gets out. Further to this point, it seems that any of the contractors and service individuals do not have card keys, but simply hit the red button and enter that way. So the question would be is there enough interest that surveys an electronic survey be sent via email to see the interest or support for the use of the Entry gate to be just like the use of the exit gate? If adopted this would avoid a very large expense by the community to replace all the entry gates with a new readers and new cards simply to then require a possible increase in your amenity fees to pay for this upgrade. Thank you for your thoughts and considered opinions.
