Indeed, this does severely restrict the mobility of some and that is one of the main reasons (but not the only one) for the fight to gain access to the medical and commercial areas of The Villages via a golf cart.
For some, the entire issue is mute if you purchase a Street Legal golf cart. However, you must have a valid Drivers License for a Street Legal Golf Cart. So a Street Legal cart does not solve the mobility issue for a few Villagers and Stonecresters.
If we were in this boat with them, perhaps we would look at things differently.

As I stated earlier in this thread; "if this access would be deemed allowable, by any of the individuals contacted by Stonecresters, The Villages would be unable to shut off any access to The Villages. A precedent would be set that it's a "convenience" to outside subdivisions. Spruce Creek South is closer to The Villages than Stonecrest, why in this instance, would they then be denied access along with other areas?"
The Villages residents aren't in that boat, Jim, because we elected to pay the piper for the golf cart accessible lifestyle.
Rubicon, your response to this matter was excellent.
