Everyone wants their little pet projects that only benefit them and not the entire community.
What you are referring to is a walking path that goes around a pond adjacent to the roadway. To get to the walking path a great number of residents would have to actually first walk in the direction opposite to the mailboxes. Then to get to the mailboxes they would have to walk through the Natives parking lot. Meanwhile someone put in and paid for a ramp going from the rec center parking lot to the roundabout. I've never seen anyone use it and why would you want people to be walking in a roundabout? When I lived in Lake Deaton the major street Warnok had both golf cart lanes and a sidewalk. In St. John's Okahumpka Run has neither. They squeezed every square foot they could to build houses and didn't care that the narrow streets and lack of sidewalk puts people unnecessarily in harms way.
