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.
The problem is, the "rogue" reflectors were put down AFTER a study was done that showed they were a danger. Now that the study results are public, some nimrod is going to trip over them or fall off their bicycle and sue the CDD.
