I'd love to see a separate bridge for golfcarts, going across the water. For safety, it could have a birdcage type enclosure over it. I know, I know, it would be expensive! But wouldn't it be fun and beautiful, and a really unique Villages feature?
I agree its dangerous, even though they added about 8 more inches to the rails so carts won't plunge down the 20 foot embankment into the retention pond. I find at my old age that the ability to judge distances between my cart and another is one of my strengths, not many can say that. If you can't swim, stay out of the water as my father always reminded me. :-)
