I'm sure it's wonderful, I'm not criticizing it. You asked a question. I answered it, given my limited understanding of the situation down there. |

In the Northern area, the 40 mph roads like Pinellas and Moyer have a crummy little sidewalk one foot away from the cart lane. In the Southern area, the 40 mph roads like Fenney way, Marsh Bend Trail (above warm Springs Road), and Meggison (past Sawgrass) have wide walking/biking paths several feet away from the roadway. On Sunday we took a nice bike ride through Lake Denham and the new paths are great. |

So to help me clear up a confusion on my part. To my understanding from the day we moved here all aspects of the traffic design of county roads and contact with mixing modes of transportation must meet requirements of Florida Department of Transportation and has nothing to do with the Morse clan. Correct?

It’s a MULTI-modal path meaning multiple modes of travel and walking is a mode of transportation. Deal with it! 🤦🏼

I think the walking path that goes from Rouddel to the Citrus Grove crossing needs to be made into a MMP before someone in a cart gets crunched by cars. Very few people are on that walking path. It was a big mistake for Cason Hammock residents to have to cross here to get home. I've seen many carts just cut across and go around the roundabout at St. Catherine on the street rather than cross in Citrus Grove.

Yes, I can deal with it by never walking on an MMP.

If I owned a golf cart and had the misfortune to live in Cason Hammock, I would probably do the same thing. |

I'm pretty sure it's the same with Fenney Way and Marsh Bend Trail...

I was responding to post #14 where the guy mentioned trucks driving 40 mph and I responded in kind. |

If I was walking from sawgrass to any of the villages south of Meggison I’d have to use the mmp. If I wanted to walk to aviary rec ctr, or to Hawkins, from St Catherine, mmp is my only option. Walk from aviary to anywhere you need to use mmp |

One possible solution would be to put in a stoplight at the golf cart crossing, like they have up at Colony for golf cart traffic going north and south on Morse. It was really very poor planning at this location, there should have been a tunnel to cross Meggison. |

How true!! At least lately, the Wildwood Police have been ticketing speeding golf carts and cars. Glad to see it happening!!

Meggison south of Sawgrass will get some relief once the Bridge and McNeill are in place.
McNeill will be a 4 lane regional road and the fastest path to 470/Turnpike. |

When St. Cats was being built, we would park at Aviary, cross Morse on foot, and walk through St. Cats, but we do not do that anymore. We love the walking trail around the swamp in Hawkins. We park our car at the pool and go from there. |

I just don't get it. I cross Meggison all the time at that "dangerous" intersection everyone seems to complain about and have never had a problem. It is only dangerous if the cart driver pulls out in front of a moving vehicle. Most of the complainers are just too impatient (entitled) to wait until the roadway is clear. If you cannot navigate Meggison safely & easily, as I do almost daily, then it is time to turn in your driver's license.
