A registration sticker is issued, valid for 1 or 2 years to show that the registration is current.
The thought of being easily identified, may tone down some of the aggressive driving around the Villages by golf carts, and also hold those causing the destruction liable to pay for damages, especially with video evidence.

Love, love, love the idea of having some kind of BIG identification tag/whatever on all the carts using our multimodal pathways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a wall was up from day one it would be one thing, but to change something like this after 30 odd years will unfairly affect the lives of many people.

Well, this could of course could stir up another major problem. I am not trying to be unsympathetic, but times changes and things have to change along with it. It is not just the thousands from SC, and Spruce Creek that would be using our pathways, but if they are allowed to have access, everyone from 441 to 44 at least, in every direction will want access, especially Fruitland Park because of the developement in that area. Add to that all of the new residents from the still to be built areas, and our seasonal visitors, and our multimodal pathways will be unbearable. Thay would affect far more than the number of people who live near the gate and use it. Plus who is to say that one day soon, the owners of the land on the way to Aldi's will decide not to allow people to use their property to start with.
One other thing about the gate--I don't know who or what destroyed it, but if I were doing it to be mean because I wasn't allowed access to TV, I definitely would mess up the one that would look like a Villager had done it, to put the blame on them, and not SC or Sp Cr.
