anyone know if there are any plans for a digital id for the phone so we don’t have to carry around the physical id.

Or is a picture on your phone of your id sufficient for pools, recreation centers etc.

is carrying a i.d card too much bother? I guess you can't please everyone

On Chula Vista and 466. That has nothing to do with golf cart traffic.

I do see a need for gates in many areas but I also see a lot of places where they are unnecessary.

There is a lot of traffic making a left turn before the gate you are discussing. I know that when I'm headed south I start slowing down way before that gate. I assume that if the gate wasn't there the speed would be higher since there would no need to slow down until you approach 466. Carts turning left would be in jeopardy. I also noticed that when they took the gates down for the last storm almost everybody disregarded any thought of slowing down at any gate.

Golf carts vs gates
