At Tuesday's POA meeting, someone asked the question about the timeline for upgrading all 63 gates in TV to comply with federal guidelines. Janet Tutt, District Mgr of the Villages responded that while the changes are effective 1/2011. TV plans to upgrade indivual gates on a necessary basis rather than a total gate replacement. I don't recall the specific amount, but total gate upgrades for TV was in the multi-million dollar range. All new gates will of course meet the new standard. Janet defended TV adoption of federal gate standards by saying that people observing a closed gate have a reaonable expection that it's safe to cross. How can you argue with this logic?
