Personally, I like the idea of (1) having identifying stickers on golf carts and (2) charging non-Village golf carts a FAIR (not the entire monthly amenity fee) fee to use our paths. This could be easily accomplished with stickers.
As to people using TV amenities without having the right to do so, maybe it is time for TV to start having these people arrested for trespassing. That should put a stop to that issue quite quickly.
I'm honestly not convinced that our paths will be overwhelmed with non-TVers even if Spruce Creek and those surrounding communities, Fruitland Park and Wildwood are allowed to use our paths. It would be a long drive from any of these areas to the town squares. Most would not have the time nor the patience to go that far when a car can do it in half the time. However, I do agree that if they're going to use our private paths, they should contribute to their maintenance.

Very true Redwitch. I'm located north of 466 and before the birds went north I observed a pretty busy cart traffic in our area. From what I've read on TOTV it's even worse down by Colony and Brownwood is getting busier. Between speeding carts and near misses it will be even worse this fall.
