Gate in Orange Blossom
Drove my cart over to Lowe's and Walmart on CR 441 this afternoon and noticed the gate to get through to the medical plaza and points north was inoperable and open with stop signs posted next to it. Does anybody know if this is a permanent thing or temporary and why?

Probably broken again. Someone is always running into it.

I'm more surprised when the gate is working then when it's not. Once I saw someone take the gate apart to get out. I called Community watch, but by the time they came the guy was long gone.

Aren't there video cameras installed in order to identify these scoundrels?

There aren't enough cameras or jails to handle the people in this world who have no ethics. I am told the world is a better, safer place but I can't see it.

Gremlins of the night (aka drunks) play havoc with all the gate in the villages. Must have manned 24 hour shift fixing them.

Someone is going to royally screw the pooch for the masses. Wait until they rebuild the border wall over there. The tears will be falling then, we’ll need an umbrella to step outside.
People have zero patience at that particular gate because it is a little slower than the other gates. Can you imagine Wawa finally getting built and we can’t access it in our Golf Cart. It wouldn’t be good. Time to call Vito & Rocco. |

The cameras records them, but who are they and where do they live?

Hmmm, I wonder if the system records the unique ID number of the card used? Apparently not. |

Hard to identify a cart. Unless the individual is known or someone catches them in the act, they pretty much get away with breaking gates. Cars can be more easily identified and car owners are more frequently found and cited.

A couple of times I have gone to/from Lowels via the gate and have encountered golf carts lurking by the gate. When I pulled up to the gate, they got right behind me in an attempt to follow me through. When that happens, I take my time going through the gate and stop about a foot past the gate until It closes so no one without a gate pass can follow me through. Needless to say, I have been on the receiving end of some choice words. |

That happened to me once also, so I asked them what Village they lived in. They had absolutely no idea of the name of even one Village. I didn't let them follow me through.

I was behind someone going out of the gate one day. His card would not work, I offered to use mine, but he was afraid he would not be able to get back in. I told him he could go to the Sumter Landing office and get it replaced, he said he was going to do that.
I say, good for him! |
