Today I followed cart tracks through the grass, and along side US 441 N. I did pass a Sheriff's Department sign (which I sware was blank/dark/not lighted until Bella Cruz Dr, where I found a Sumter County Sheriff's Deputy on a motocycle waiting for me with lights flashing. He stated he had been stationed by his office to prevent exactly what I had just done. I did receive a warning ticket. I presume both the sheriff's sign and the patrolman's pay was at tax payer's expence in behalf of Mr Morse or the Villages.
This path has been open (and specifically inviting) to golf carts in the Villages for at least 15 years, and possibly longer. I wonder if challenged can The Villages legally close this gate through the wall.
I wonder what the cheap motivation Mr. Morse has for closing this important access to doctor's offfices, at least one Emergency Care office in the Villages Hospital system accessible to golf carts.
I am sure he has his wallet mostly on his feable mind.
