As I posted earlier on this Thread. A precedent was set several years ago to allow Stonecresters access via golf trail to Doctors, Hospital facilities, residents of TV, and other commercial establishments within TV.

Of course when a precedent is set, it becomes rather cumbersome to eliminate that action. A wall was put up to stop Stonecresters from access to TV and their Doctors and Hospital via a regular golf cart. However, this action also stopped TV residents from accessing certain facilities. Subsequenty, the wall was removed and a gate was constructed that could only be opened by a TV gate pass. Thus, Stonecresters could no longer enter via a golf cart and must find alternate transportation to doctors and hospital facilities among other "things" they previously accessed by golf cart.

It is rumored that the gate was put into place to solve a potential liability issue. However, since TV is not a total gated community an "outsider" can (and do) access TV via Street Legal golf cart and may get to doctors and the hospital via golf cart transportation. It appears that the liability issue or issues has not been effectively addressed by the "Paradie Dr. gate". Who or what is going to keep them off the TV golf trails?

Since Street Legals may use the multi modal trails, IMHO the Gate solves nothing except to stop Stonecresters (who only drive a regular golf cart) from accessing certain public facilities that previously they could access via their golf carts.

Do we issue a windshield or plate to Villagers and then "police" those who do not have this identification in order to keep ALL so called illegal golf carts off our so called "private trails"? Now, we are talking about nonesense! And something that could be costly to all. It's a pretty slippery slope that some seem to want to travel.
