Sure, no worries. You deserve a closer Walmart.
The Developer personally reads every annual survey and grants wishes.
Just look at the huge Cosco being built on CR 466A.

I know this is off base but what is the big deal with Costco? Isn't it just a Sam's Club?

Read this thread for a clarification between the two.

Berry Berry Interesting! Thank's for the assist. Back on the subject now.

We went over on Sunday. If you got 50 cents a cart coming and going I'll bet you would get about $500 for the day. It was a Golf Cart MadHouse.

The 12 MPH signs are yellow and bright and shiney and are there to advise everyone to not speed. A whole lot of nothing for nothing. There are several bags hung from telephone poles for trash so we may be good neighbors. Oh I almost forgot about the young fellow who cut me off, beat me back to the entrance gate to Country Club Hills and forgot his pass card and wanted to use mine....not a chance. He did use the one of a person behind us by trying to race several inches from the back of her cart....he almost made it...thankfully he didn't hit the nice lady but I'm sure he did $1000 worth of damage to his cart and mangled the gate. It clearly says one cart at a time. Boy was he heated. Free entertainment.

How can you forget your pass when you need it to leave? Sounds like he was trying to sneak in???

Apparently Costco pays their employees more money. We belonged to both in Cincy and couldn't discern any difference. TOO much lettuce both places. Unusual and great seasonal offerings both places. Enormous jars of pickles both places. Good deals on electronics both places. Nice looking and uncomfortable upholstered furniture both places.

A lot of folks don't like Walmart. I like Walmart. I also don't promote minimum wage at McDonalds. I am satisfied with how much a quarter pounder costs now.

Not deep or altruistic Gracie.

My money is on the path closing if Duke can't find an "owner" for the liability. I don't know why a group of path users don't step up and offer to take over ownership of this property from Duke.

[leftyf]

Actually, I think the county should take it over.

Why burden the taxpayers so a few people can drive their golf carts to Walmart? If the county assumes responsibility, the same group will be demanding improvements; paving, widening, covered rest stop..... Let the users pick up the property, since they want to use it.

Some of the users can't even take care of their own trash.

We have shopped both Costco and Sam's club and found Sam offers better deals. We also shopped trader Joe's
Trader Joe's operates on the principal of exclusivity meaning everything is over priced. We periodically drive to Gainsville to shop and stop by trader Joe's for a few items. I happen to like their carrot juice. We like these small trips away from TV. We really like the feel and view of the Wesley Chapel area.

I wonder if Wesley Chapel residents are having similar problems with duke energy and their cartpath?

I wonder what people did to get to the store before they owned a cart? I wonder how much shopping you can do with a cart? I wonder how you keep meat from over heating while shopping with your cart I wonder if some residents are house bound because they forgot to charge up/fuel up their golf carts?

I wonder if this thread will ever end? Probably not until the duke energy cart path is either sold or closed. but then a new thread will begin about who bought the Duke energy cart path and how it affected the flow of traffic. Or if closed what other cart paths may have been cleared to circumvent the now closed duke energy cart path.. and now we find that Water Oak residents take great leaps of faith by making dangerous crossings to get to The Villages in their golf carts. I really do suspect that some day soon we will experience a drone carrying a golf cart onto the public square and find that the owners of the golf cart reside in Orlando ....and the beat goes on...I'm just funning

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

This has nothing to do with the CCD money. This is private property where people have been trespassing. Just like the Villagers did not want people trespassing on the Village Paths. Looks like the shoe is on another foot this time.

Let's see: Bells, Lowes, Cracker barrel, Doctors Offices, Several Restaurants, access to the Hospital, access to the Villages via Street Legal Cart. Could never understand all the hoopla about the gate when all you needed was a street legal cart to access the villages. I'd much rather get in the cart if I have to go to Lowes. However if the path is closed Stonecrest will most likely have a another route using a new gate.

Steve, interesting post on possibly using another gate to get Aldi's and the other locations if they close off the short path between Walmart and Aldi's.

I know the two Stonecrest gates on each side of Walmart. But where might there be a possible gate setup for Stonecrest to bypass the Duke portion of the path.

Is there a spot in Stonecrest further down for a gate.

I think Stonecrest should take over the path and put up gates at each end. Then negotiate a reciprocal deal with the Villages for their use to get to Walmart and Stonecrest use at Paradise.

Only fair. I saw your earlier comment "Payback is Hell".

See my prediction in post 131 is spot on concerning alternate paths and the duke energy pathway hasn't even been sold or closed. And now we also have water oaks to contend with
