Cool MM Path Stripping & Reflectors

Anyone traveled the MM Path through Turtle Mound golf course lately?

They have installed reflectors (yellow) for the center line and (white) along the edge of the path. These are only for very short areas of the path and where there are curves.

While the center line yellow reflectors are OK, the white reflectors along the edge are amazing for night visibility. Both are incredible!

I know the Districts are haggling over stripping the paths, but I would vote for the reflectors (especially the white ones along the edge), given the opportunity.

Anyone else see these and have an opinion???

I agree about the reflectors. I feel the white ones along the edges would be very important to place down. The edges are harder to see at night especially in the rain. I read the article in the village news about possible painting of lines. If anything put yellow reflectors along turns. I'm sorry but if people don't know what side of the paths they are supposed to be driving in maybe they shouldn't be driving a golf cart.

They are great and very helpful! I would love to see them all along these paths. The Brownwood area really needs some safety items added ASAP!

they put the reflectors along the curves up to and into the tunnel by Arnold Palmer CC....excellent move. I would vote for them where ever a pinch point or curve.....if enough money in the budget then do all MMPaths.

Yeah, I think the yellow in the center is pretty good. Wait until you see the white reflectors on the side of the path. For night driving, they are very bright and it's easy to see the boundaries of the path...
