Are speeding carts on golf paths really that big of problem. I have been all over TV on 6 visits and never saw one.
I think a few paths should be widened for safety on northside, and they are working on that now.. but seriously... Uniformed officers after golf carts going 5mph over their max speed?
Do they also patrol in TV or just come in once in awhile to write tickets?

Sorry JimJoe, I have to disagree with you on this one. I live here full time, and we see a lot of it. I ride my bicycle on the rec trails, and I find the speeding carts to be a safety hazard. They whiz by me on some of the narrower portions, so close, I have almost been forced off the trail. They go around curves so fast, that often times pedestrians that are also using hte trail have to quickly jump aside to avoid being hit. The Morse Blvd. bridge has a 10 mph speed limit that is completely disregarded. I was passed by someone the other day had to be going 30 mph on the rec trail. We have to share the trails with carts, cyclists, and walkers, and the speeding carts are a menace IMHO.
