I can't even imagine the mess it would be if the Villages opened up golf cart access to Mr. Brown. If they did that, I predict it would take less than a day for every area that is even remotely close to TV to start demanding that they also have golf cart accessibility too, and I wouldn't be surprised if they expected TV to pay for it. I really do unnderstand and sympathize with the Villagers who would possibly lose their access to Walmart and Lowe's. But even though it might be extremely inconvenient to not be able to go to there in their carts, the impact to the Village areas between 441 to 42 at Brownwood would have a larger impact on many more people. It is already so bad that TV has put up stop signs at some of the golf cart/car crossings to make them at least a 3 way stop. I believe we will see more of that because even this week, there were occassions when I was at least the 10th or 14th cart backed up at some crossings. If all of the local areas were to have golf cart access, I think you would see lots of backed up traffic. I have seen several golf carts (basically rigged up John Deere lawn carts with a small bed) that I suspect came from Wildwood. People from other areas had the same opportunity to live in TV and use the multimodal pathways, but since they chose not to do so, they can't cry now that they are entitled to use them. If we don't speak up, we can't complain later that it isn't right that the MM paths are so crowded that we can't use them.
BTW, although I am def. against outsiders using our pools, I don't think that is the biggest problem. But I have been here 4 years, and I have seen, and talked to 3 people from outside areas.
