I agree that bicycling on the streets is safer, and indeed probably safer than many other cities in which you might cycle.
For rollerblading-- especially since you say you are beginners-- I think the only reasonably safe place would be quiet neighborhood streets, facing traffic or as Ohio Girl suggested, on the cart paths south of 466a.
Cart paths in TV are legal for rollerblading, and no doubt safer than playing Russian roullet, although I wonder how much more so. The cart paths are windy, and carts travel 20 mph (or more) are often seen "cutting" the curves. While carts are big enough to be seen approaching a curve from the opposite direction, a rollerblader might not be visible approaching many of the curves. Add to this the fact that you are an inexperienced blader and a high percentage of cart drivers here in January are snowbirders of varying experience navigating the TV cart paths and higher speed carts.
Please be careful, be safe and have a great time in TV.
