The area in question. The cart gate is at the red dot.

Default Golf path closing

Looks like those that want to continue using the portion of the path that is cut off will need to purchase a street legal golf cart. The fine for crossing without using a street legal cart is $250. Also the section between Walmart and Aldi's will remain open and be improved the last I heard. Seems silly to inconvenience 70K people just to keep 1000 Stonecrest residence from coming into the Villages via this opening.

However, as three of the previous 100+ posts were yours, I find it somewhat strange that you:

post three "rants, assumptions, wild ass guesses" of your own

then criticise others for doing so

then hang around a thread (you have a total of eight posts on it) which is clearly of no interest to you.


Many people in TV are badly affected by this wall and are getting together here to discuss it.

If we don't meet your standards for factual correctness, and all you and RedTail (six posts on this thread) want to do is belittle others, I suggest you get off this thread and find one more to your liking.

Leave us in peace to discuss what is important to us.

Thats what I thought. Its called behind the wall! LOL. I feel bad for the ones trapped. Hopefully they will rethink this. They tried to put a fence up by Walmart that has property owned by Duke energy. It lasted four hours.They recieved so many angry phone calls they took it down. Although I'm afraid concrete is more permanent. So sad. My Grandson loved going on that bridge. Us Stonecresters spent alot of money in the stores and businesses.

Didn't they create an easement by allowing us to use the path for more than 7 years?

If you live in the historic section you can still cross the golf cart bridge in your golf cart and go to all of the places the rest of us can go in a golf cart.

If you are meeting to make your selves madder, to me that is not going to help anything. NOTHING is yet known why this occurred. MeMason probably answered it correctly; that the cart path passes through non village territory and the new care facility didn't want it. Bogie may say things succinctly but he is usually right.

You are right. It isn't something that is changing our lives as much as yours since most of us do live in the lower regions of the Villages... Unless we live there it isn't out problem directly but the discussion is occurring on this forum.

I think you will find most people would like to see a livable solution to this problem for you.
