Hopefully the Morse family and POA / HOA will get involved.

Remember when the Developer put up the wall blocking access to the path? Why would the Morse family get involved?

To help villagers get to Walmart. The gate already keeps out most Stonecrest erst.

Don't the historic homeowners have any say in how their CCD money is spent? Maybe that is a stupid question.

Duke Energy is doing the right thing especially for their customers who use a golf cart for their only means of transportation. I have no dog in this fight as I too live south of 466a and will likely never use this path, but come on folks it's a serious issue for those residents and let's show a little compassion for the residents dilemma. Not all of us have the same resources or even health to just up and move to another location to shop, go to doctors or even get groceries.

This path is very important to some and Duke Energy is attempting to work something out for these residents and customers (good for Duke Energy) who have used this path for years. BTY the other no name news has an article about the path today.

The Developer doesn't help this villager get to WalMart.

I have a long cart drive to Walmart. Do you think the developer would consider building a Walmart closer to me?

My thoughts exactly.

Some people.



For those facing and dealing with this issue...good luck.

We all will have to make changes eventually when we can no longer drive. None of us are getting younger. We are all in charge of our own lives.

The developer is not our mother.

There used to be updates on the negotiations from our POA. What happened to open this can of worms again? It went cold for a long time. Then there was a group that did a lot of volunteer work to improve the path. Did this bring this to forefront again? They moved the improvements as close to the Walmart fence as possible. The reason I thought was that Duke did not want people that close to the substation. If the Duke legal department believes some how they legally now have the liability by defacto they will close that path. I would have expected an internal memo that indicated anyone discussing this made it perfectly clear that people that used the path were trespassing. I've been involved with things like this in the past and as long as no one says something wrong, people just turn a blind eye. Once they believe it legally becomes a problem then Duke will have no recourse but to act on it. This is why I indicated do not talk to Duke and ask questions about the path because if some one gives out the wrong info its over. If I were Duke I would put a sign that indicates this is Duke Property and the path can be used at your own risk. Does not totally exonerate them from liability but gives them an argument should some one take them to court over the an incident. Guess I'll just have to see what's up when I get back down South. Not happy with any of this. Is there a new No Trespassing Sign put up by Duke that indicates no trespassing violators will be prosecuted? If so then you use that path and would be subject to arrest if they also informed the local law enforcement they want it up held. Closing this path has no positives associated with it.

I must be missing something. Those that spruced up the path were mostly comprised of Stonecresters, from what I've read. What benefit does this path provide them since they cannot get past the wall? Can someone shed some light on that?

I do truly believe that The Lord Created Amazon just in case this path does close. It will not close. No way Jose.

"The Wall" which is actually a gate, only keeps non-residents out of The Villages. These paths are well beyond The Villages proper.

This duke path keeps villagers from Walmart etc and keeps Stonecresters from Lowes etc.

Everyone wants it kept open, but Duke does not want responsibility.

Hocus Pocus Dominocus, this epic dilemma will resolve itself like magic!
