Why thermoplastic side striping? That has to be ground off every few years when it needs replacing. Why not a broken painted line down the middle? Cheaper to apply, cheaper to maintain. Let's face it, the real reason for striping is to keep people from running into each other. If side striping was such a good idea it would be done on highways and interstates!!

...which is usually done. Almost always on Interstates. :confused:

Interesting Comment you had made.
Would you be happy driving your car on roads without painted lines ? Especially at night.
So a Dollar ($1.00) per year is too much to perhaps save someone life ? I don't think so.
As a full time Resident of The Villages as many others are we do use our Golf Cart's Exclusively to get around (except in the snow LOL).
The other District's will now see that their are Some Very Concerned Board Members.
Its a shame really as that if all Districts would of Authorized Stripping at one time perhaps the cost would be lower.
Another year is almost upon us and Hopefully New Board Members will Re Consider this issue for the safety of all whether Full Time or Part Time Residents. Most of the people who do not want are Snow Birds.

:BigApplause: Granny you make a very good point for real golf cart driving safety.

I agree.


Those narrow lanes with the rut that throws you sideways aren't very safe.

Seriously? No one has died from 2 carts colliding with each other.

The difference in cost is a moot point now since CDD 8 is going rogue and, at this point, will be the only district striping their MMP.

What stats do you have to quantify the statement that the snowbirds are most of the people that do not want striping?

Who NOT to vote for next time:

Sal Torname, Victor Ray and Ray Banks

What a waste of our money. If you can't figure what side of the path you belong on, you shouldn't be driving. I hope they reconsider their decision.

Actually, CDD4 center striped awhile ago. Very nice. Noticeable difference. Although I have heard that some 18 wheeler carts have been spotted on the MMP in CDD4.

I agree

Why do we want more lines on the paths? Isn't the Villages all about people getting along and being considerate without stop lights and lines?

I am not a snowbird, I am against striping and it has nothing to do with cost. We just happen to be on opposite sides of the issue.

Agree The districts originally said that all districts would follow the vote. Everyone else voted against it(with the exception of 7...however they kept to their promise.)

If people don't know which side of the road to drive on, lines won't help.

Uniformity Needed for Striping Multi-Modal Paths
 

[B]I thought the Amenity Advisory Committee was in charge of making the final decision for stripping of the Multi-Modal Paths. "If" so, why are some Districts going ahead and doing so on their own? Also, too much signage and/or striping doesn't prevent accidents; however, some minimal striping might be in order, but the biggest cause of accidents on the Multi-Modal Paths is "Speed" and "Diverted Attention" by golf cart drivers. -
