It was District 12 that decided to spend several thousands of dollars to install raised pavement markers on MMP in that district, right? Then the Project Wide Advisory Council (?) objected. The Council’s justification was that the markers might be a tripping hazard for walkers or contribute to a biking accident. If either of those were a valid Project Wide concern, then why do we have raised pavement markers anywhere in The Villages? Put these markers in the middle of every path. Walk on the left edge facing traffic; bicyclists keep within your lane (on the right). No one stumbles. No falls from bicycles. No need for super-bright lights to see which way the path weaves up ahead.
