Speed, size, and weight versus size and weight. LSV belong on the road not on Golf cart paths.[/QUOTE]
Steve9930: I happen to agree with you. Personally I always felt it was unsafe and unfair to have LSV's use multi-modal pathways mainly because of safety issues (the 20mph restriction). some may say that there is no speed limit on the multi-modal path ways and that police have no authority, I agree but these are canards like many illuminating from Stonecrest.
First the 20mph rule, perhaps police can't ticket you for exceeding 20 mph on the multi-modal path ways but they do on the roads for having an unregistered vehicle. So they are in effect policing the speed of unregistered carts which exceeds 20mph. Label it any way you choose
The complaint from Stonecrest is that (x) number of residents do not have driver licenses and therefore need their carts. I would like to know how many actual Stonecrest residents were talking about and why they do not possess a driver licenses . I mean if the state of florida refuses to issue a driver's license to them there well good be a safety issue here. Perhaps like the guy from Oxford who had a difficulty seeing and used our cart paths running down a pedestrian.
I also see another Stonecrest canard ...are some residents feeling buyers remorse. is that what this is really all about?
This issue isn't about good or bad people its about choices and its about protection of our investment. Clearly we can't and shouldn't interfere with commerce, restaurants, town squares, etc but we paid highly for our amenities which included the multi-modal pathways.
I expect and demand the Developer keep his promise that I was buying into a Lifestyle because if a person can live outside the villages and still enjoy the "Lifestyle" then I have a whole lot of questions.
finally I don't want to hear that non residents can't use pools rec cents etc.
Frankly there are some villagers who never use a rec center, a pool etc but they still pay for the right to. IF someone is going down that road of a logical progression then I countering with perhaps we ought to make amenities divisible. I don't use rec centers pools, et so I don't want to pay for them................get my drift. Its all or nothing for us and so it has to be all or noting for outsiders. You want to use your cart to view the gardens from the multi-modal paths move to The Villages there still are a lot of homes for sale
