<snip> Wish they would remove the speed bumps at Bridgeport at Lake Sumter Landing

That's exactly what was done. The OP was completely vague.

From the online news site:

Community Development District 5 supervisors have rendered a decision on the fate of the speed bumps on the multi-modal path at the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter.
<snip>
The board unanimously agreed to remove the pair of speed bumps at the entrance.

“I’m glad that matter has been resolved. It has lingered a long time,” said CDD 5 Chairman Walter Martin.

CDD 5 supervisors also agreed to remove the speed bump at the tunnel between Palmer Legends Country Club and the Bridgeport of Lake Miona.

The speed bumps will be removed within a month. It will likely take place at night when there is less traffic.

This also was a part of the announcement regarding the bumps at the gate.

“They did a great job,” CDD 5 Supervisor Jerry Knoll said at Friday morning’s board meeting.
“Now it goes back to individual automobile operator, golf cart operator and bicycle operator to be responsible,” he added.

(golf cart operator's are not responsible with the speed bumps, without the bumps they will not even slow down)

Depends on who gets to 4 way stop first? Yes, carts do have the right way sometimes. Vehicles also don't to stop at stop signs either. In fact most roll through stops sign, your NOT in line till you stop if other cars are at the intersection at four way stop, but STOP before entering roundabout WHEN NOTHING is coming.

All the speed bumps accomplished at that location is to make the cartpath look like I-4 .

Absent stop sign or traffic devices cars do not always have the right of away (ROW).

For example where diamond lanes end and vehicles merge at gates or coming to stop lights, the vehicle in the lead has the right of way.

Unfortunately we have too many cars that have a need to go first and they intentionally speed up to pass a golf cart on the left.

That situation frightens me more than removing speed bumps

Personal Best Regards:

Does anybody who reads this have any information as to when this work is scheduled, removal of the Bridgeport Bumps? Seems like an easy enough job to complete in one over night trip.
