I think you will find that the individual CDD's have the responsibility to maintain golf cart (multi-modul) paths. So, if the Developer builds a golf path to nowhere, he is dropping the maintenance responsibility onto the CDD responsible for that district. This is the old shame game problem that old timers have been bitching about for years here in TV. Ever wonder why the amenity fees go up for no apparent reason? Look into the multimodul path problem being experienced by the CDDs north of 466 at this time. The developer built multimodul paths during the development stages which today are not able to handle current traffic. Now the CDDs are being required to correct the problem with their CDD amenity fees. Developer screws up - you and I have to pay to correct the problem. Put your ear to the tracks and you will hear the train coming your way folks.

YIKES...it only took a few phone calls to find out where there were coming from.

NO...the Developer (ie The Villages) is not paying for these pathways....there for the CDD's are not responsible for them....in fact they are not in any CDD territory. These are part of the town of Lady Lake. Isn't nice to see a face lift in that area!! If they benefit the villages in some way in the future than good for everyone!

These are called multi-modal pathways. They have no access into or out of TV's. It will be nice for bike riders or walkers to use them as 466 is very busy....much too dangerous with out pathways.


Cliff not sure what increases you have...but most Amenity fees are increased (most of them yearly) according the CPI for that month. Each CDD has a budget. Each CDD has home owner elected representatives. There are no increases to my knowledge that are specificly for the cart paths. Yes they need to be fixed but the CDD's in those areas are fully aware and have budgeted (I think) monies to have them taken care of. I am sure when the full budget is available mid-summer (as it is every year) we can take a look at the facts.

The Developer did not build and dump....he built then gave away and sold....smart family!! Wish I was related....or at the very least that smart!

I guess if we really hated the developer for everything they did ....we really wouldn't be living or owning here. Just a thought.

Cassie,

Thanks for checking into this, I had a feeling this wasn't a Village project.

[GMONEY]

Not even on Village property. All maintined by Lady Lake.

Thanks Cassie.
You proved a valid point, speculating, guessing, passing along second hand information, etc. solves nothing. Just a couple calls and the answer was there.

[sparky]

Thanks Cassie, Thats all I really wanted to know when I started this thread.

[Vichyssoise]

any idea if the multi-modal pathway will eventually be extended all the way out to 441? Would be great to be able to get to the shopping down there. Let's keep our fingers crossed..

[Mallory]

Sorry, but let's hope it's not extended. We'll be overrun by non-Villagers.

Everytime I drive to the Lady Lake Library via CR466 I wonder what these paths are doing on the east end of CR466.

[2001villager]

This is a multi-modal trail for walkers/runners, bicycles, whatever. It was requested by the Town of Lady Lake for the benefit of the residents who live along the road (notice there are several apartment complexes under construction). This is a county road, not a Villages street and must meet FDOT construction standards. Shouldn't we be encouraging excersize and forms of transportation other than cars? Alternative transportation is something that we all should encourage. This is a small part of an effort to afford alternatives as new construction/reconstruction occurs throughout the state. Notice that all new state roads require bicycle lanes.

Hope this puts your mind at ease.

someone might just have new input for us to explore.
Thanks for your post.

Guess you missed the point made by 2001villager "this is a county road not a villages street"

How many ways are there to explain something.....this is a dead issue.

[Hancle704]

What gives anyone the idea that it is a golf cart path?
