Clearly your friend is excited about the prospect of using those roads to get to all of the medical and retail facilities. I can’t imagine you supporting this VHA blockade solution that would deny her that right and then to continue to call her your friend.
But the path connecting the public Paradise Road to the public access parking lot of the medical center is private property. We certainly have every right to travel on the public roads where golf carts are allowed and so the the residents of Stonecrest. But we are traveling on the private property path at the pleasure of the owner of that property.
