yes, that is my ONLY concern about living in TV. I always have worried that it's just too big. I LOVE the off the road multi modal paths, but there seem to be too many times when the golf carts have to cross automobile traffic to get to the rec centers, their mail boxes, or sometimes the golf cart paths go across a major road at a stop light (like Buena Vista/Southern Trace)

I try to drive on the cart paths only.
Maybe that is why I dont play the golf courses north of 466 that much.
Its dangerous out there on the roads in a cart, in my opinion. Be that Morse Blvd., St. Charles, or Odell.
I really think more dedicated cart paths are necessary.
But, I guess it is too late for dedicated cart paths on the roads I have mentioned.

I TOTALLY agree with you......"the powers that be" NEVER expected TV to expand past 466 when the "Spanish Springs" area was developed. They have had to wing it and that's why the design is better south of 466.

Please tell me this is not the "lifestyle" everybody raves about.

Yes it is. Let's keep in mind it is estimated there are between 40,000 and 50,000 golf carts here. For the amount of accidents there seem to be it is safe way to get around.

If it is better, why no tunnel at Old Mill Run east of Buena Vista?

Obviously, on streets with no sidewalks, pedestrians have no choice but to walk wherever they can, but they need to realize, even if they have the right of way, faster moving vehicles cannot always avoid slower moving objects.

There are no sidewalks north of 466. I agree it makes no sense to walk in the street if there is a sidewalk. However, without sidewalks there is no other avenue, pun intended.

I am waiting for someone to chime in and correct me by stating there are sidewalks in Spanish Springs.
