People who have access to cars should only comment if they can imagine not having transportation other than a golf cart. Do you really want to see seniors walking along 441/27 pushing their walkers through the grass?
I say it's a sad day when residents of neighboring communities allow their handicapped residents to access to any services via walker. Where is the outreach program for these residents to attend to vital services they need? Why don't these communities or neighbors do the right thing and provide the necessary safe transportation. If an individual is handicapped enough to necessitate a walker, than I would think golf cart transportation may not be a safe transportation medium.
