Lighting the Multi Modal Path
 
Lighting the MMPs with downward projecting lights would enhance safety at night and during rain storms, and provide nice aesthetics. I think this would be a wonderful enhancement to TV. This could be in lieu of striping, which many think is ugly.

all it would require for this idea would be toll booths to pay for it

OR...if we are having trouble seeing on cart paths we could take our automobile to where we are going. The streets are nicely lit.


It is a golf cart friendly community, not a golf cart dependent community.

And it will only cost you $1 or $2 per day increase in your amenity fee or $30 to $60 more per month.

Is that OK?

Unreal....how about bumper rails in addition to the lights

What if the developer paid for and installed windshield wipers on all golf carts?

What if the developer paid for taxi service for legally blind people who drive golf carts?

What if you adjust the direction of your headlights so you can see, if they can not be adjusted you or the AAC could install a second set of headlights that can be adjusted.

In a nut shell, it is your problem to solve if you can not see to drive not mine. Fix it yourself before you kill someone. Plan “B” park it.

if you are going too fast to see the path in front of you with your golf cart headlights, then you need to slow down. We have plenty of streetlights in The Villages.

Years ago in a place called The Villages a cry was heard by the Government to allow golf carts to travel after dark. The Government heard the cry of the people and night time driving was allowed. In the years that followed, many accidents occurred.

Now a cry was heard by the Government to strip the MMP'S down the center and on the sides. It was "thought" this will eliminate many accidents. At first the cry of the people was heard, and the Government heard the cry and said yes. Then it was said that it would cost $300,000 and maybe more. The Government said lets reconsider because again we have the cry of the people.

What will the Government do?

You are correct---it should say "many accidents perceived".
