They are all mostly accessible. From what I read in other post seems to indicate that since this path connects to a public road it is not legal to restrict access. Well most of the paths within the Villages all connect to legal roads so they are all in the same boat so to speak. Since that is the case I'm wondering why the Villagers have to pay for all the cart paths. Seems like it should be the counties responsibility and maintained with tax dollars. As for access into StoneCrest via Golf Cart you can do exactly that if you go to the front gate and enter that way. There is no restriction from going to the restaurant or the Golf course.

I think you just made the case for The Villages, Steve. The cart paths in The Villages are exactly that... just for Village residents. There is a sense out there from surrounding residences outside The Villages that we should all move over, non-Villagers are entitled to use our private paths too. Stonecrest is welcome to come to our restaurants and shops and we're happy they can drive in and do that, the only requirement is that they use the public roads to do so. This may explain why the Morse's enclosed that, "hole in The Villages wall". (Yes, I know it was a fence piece that was placed there.)
