cannot cross 441/27 unless and until permission to do so is first granted by the appropriate county and crossing point is deemed legal by fdot.

Street legal can drive on roads posted 35 or less.. not 45 or less.

Very sympathetic as we used the path but I'm not sure picketing and bringing bad publicity to TV would be wise for our property values!

If only proper notice had been given, I think we all would find it an easier pill to swallow! I, for one, have no patience with covertness and deceptive practices!

The posted speed on Rolling Acres is 35, but you are correct that LSVs are not permitted.

Suggestion for the Wall that won't go away
 
Why not offer a shuttle service for villagers without transportation to
Walmart, Aldi, Lowe's or Medical Center with periodic stops if the Morse's would like this dispute to go away....Just a suggestion, do not beat up on me, please!

the villages will not even offer trolley service from rec centers to town squares...i can't imagine them providing a shuttle service for residents to spend $$ outside of the bubble.

however, i do think it is an enterprising oppty for someone seeking to start a private venture in the area.

Link to story: Deputies warning golf carts on renegade route bypassing ' Berlin Wall'

I imagine that the time period for deputies giving warnings will end fairly soon and then they will start ticketing golf carts with big buck penalties. The squawking will really be loud after a few $165 or so tickets are given to violators.

Harold Schwartz was Gary Morse's biological father. After Gary's mother remarried he changed his name to his stepfather's name, Morse.

I believe he owns all the championship courses so look for greens fees to skyrocket. Also look for the cost of priority membership to jump to what many were paying up north just to play one course. And then again he may just convert ALL the CC to private membership. Want'a play and your are gonna pay one way or the other and it will be a lot more.

As the leases run out at the CC restaurants look for changes just like OB.

I don't have a dog in this fight as I don't own property in TV but it sure is giving me second thoughts about buying that's for sure.

For those who live in Sumter County. Call the Sumter Bus service, they will pick you up take you shopping. After shopping they will take you home. For Lake County, I'm not sure if you have such a service. You may want to look into it.

Maybe you need to check out the path between Orange Blossom and the Medical Center. It is a paved, lighted path and looks fairly permanent to me.

A previous post referred to the dirt path and I notice a dirt path used by carts that accesses Lowes from the south across a field.

Many keep saying Ed knows more than anybody about the Villages and he caught this..........not a villager.
Good one Ed!:eclipsee_gold_cup:

A street legal in Florida cannot drive on a street if the speed limit is higher than 35 mph. It is actually extremely dangerous for a street legal which cannot exceed 25 mph to be on a road with cars legally travelling 10 mph faster and often illegally going 20 mph faster.
