At it's Jan. 25 meeting, the Sumter County Board of Commissioners, an elected body, considered a number of options, including more signage, and ultimately voted 4-1 for the option to not allow golf cart traffic.
I found this by going to the
Sumter County Website, looking at the Jan. 25 agenda, and reviewing the documents attached to this particular agenda item; and by reviewing the minutes.
This document shows the alternatives considered, with pros and cons of each.
According to the Sumter County Administrator's office (352-689-4400) numerous traffic studies were done to develop the alternatives. These were done under the direction of the Public Works Dept. (793-0240) from which copies of the traffic studies are available.
BTW, I bring all this up not because I favor or oppose the decision made, but just as a reminder that we as citizens do have access to our county governments-- and it is never wrong to ask for it.
