I'm one who is directly affected. I live on the historic side. I don't have a car (gave it to my daughter since I didn't need it). I frequent Lowe's almost weekly for my business. I love Taki's gyros. Most importantly, my grandson loves to ride the "bouncy" path and how do I explain to a 4 YO that we can't go there anymore? To say I am upset is putting it mildly.
I'll find a way around it; probably not as safe and definitely not as convenient, but necessity makes things happen.
I will be on the phone Monday to get some answers. I'm not a Morse fan and this just gives me one more reason to not root for the family. I don't think it was to force us to use the other Wal-Mart or other stores (which is not on Villages' property). So far as I know, Morse doesn't make money from any of the stores on the strip malls (which includes Publix). I do think there are probably liability issues but those issues were always there.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one day the street to Colony was closed to golf cart traffic. It is a huge liability issue. If this happens, here's hoping someone will have the foresight to give those residents south of 466A another golf cart accessible means to get to places. Sadly, this has not happened in the case of this closure.
