[QUOTE=cquick;657505]."----- I worry just going on the bridge over Lake Sumter, those "golf cart" lanes are very narrow! Don't know who designed that bridge, but they should have gone back to civil engineering school!

/QUOTE]

The story I heard is that the cart path over the bridge was orginally designed to be wider but the local "bumblecrats" stuck in their noses and mandated the sidewalk to be widened. Rather than redesign the bridge and add to the cost, the developer just cut the golf cart path to the more narrow width. So now we all suffer. Probably someday there will be a serious sideswipe incident and the cart riders will fly over the protective curb and into traffic.
