FINALLY, Parking Enforcement
 

Today's Rec News page 2, EXTRA! EXTRA!

"No person may leave, stand or park any motor vehicle or golf cart on any District property other than in designated parking areas without the approval of the district manager."

About time!!!!!:clap2: This includes the three "downtown" areas.

A squib in a newspaper does not equal enforcement.

Yeah, but it's a step in the right direction.

But, if it was never announced then people would bitch that they were not warned!

I wonder 1] how one goes about getting approval and 2] what the consequence if the new rule is disobeyed!

How 'bout a parking ticket from a LEO.

At the last POA meeting it was said if you illegally park in the near future after a period of warnings golf carts will be towed. So you all best stop inventing parking spots.

I don't get it - where are people parking that they shouldn't be???

When a parking lot is very busy they will park at the entrance so they won't have to walk far....They will park in the striped off areas for a handicap vehicle with a lift...Things like this...

On the grass, sidewalk, just take a look around most any night. Some people just think they are special.

We're all special! The problem is that a self-select few think that they're the only ones who are!

At Colony...two golfcarts were parked on the far edge of side-by-side parking spots (they probably parked next to other carts that had left. Anyway...a woman was seen parking in the spot BUT straddling the parking line between the two carts. I'm trying to describe the scenario here so hoping you can visualize this. A man going by decided to take a photo of this (probably to post 'somewhere') The woman comes out and begins "railing" on the guy...not sure what all transpired but can only guess. Oh...and on her car were those magnetic signs for a sales representative of...guess where...The Villages!! Granted the parking lot at Colony is crazy most of the time...but really Lady---being "creative" can be againest the law!

This begs an answer to "how do they plan to enforce this?" Do they plan on having carts and vehicles towed? By whom and to where-do they plan to start The Villages Towing Business? More money in the developer's coffers?

My goodness. I didn't know that was happening. No wonder they are taking steps.

I didn't understand it either, gomoho.


I say, Book 'em Danno!!

Book ' em Danno:: Gracie, if you are not more careful with your quotes, I would think you may be as old as I am. I have seen you in person and know that cannot be possible.
