VT2TV has listed a number of excellent reasons why it is feasible.
Some believe that since community Watch has no policing power that it would be a waste. However, if this is true then all Community Watch does now is a waste. Is neighborhood watch a waste? Is a school crossing guard a waste? I think not. By placing some of those community watch people behind the steering wheels of carts vis a vis cars we have the same effect as neighborhood watch.
The multi-modal pathways are The Villages highways for golf carts, bicycles, pedestrians and they need to be watched so they can be managed better and infractions, dangerous situations, etc immediately reported. Again community watch is an extension of an existing program same as village ID's etc. Problems can be complex but solutions are simple if there is agreement and a willingness to listen
a feasibility study would be a good start
