Default A New Multi-Modal Path Discussion Group

According to the other online news source, the PWAC may resurrect the Multi-Modal Path Discussion Group which will include representation from CDD 1-10 and the Amenity Authority Committee. Topics for discussion might consist of better signage and more speed bumps.

What do you feel should be their focus? Should they concentrate on new or older users of the paths?

As a newer golf cart driver, I feel that all new golf cart users should attend the VHA Safety clinic. If everyone who plays pickle ball is required to go to BP101, the BP 101 practice, then PB102, etc., then all new golf cart drivers should start with the VHA Safety clinic.

Maybe golf class 101 before playing on a golf course. Just kidding--of course. I have no problem with a safety course if someone wants to take it, however, the very serious accidents (fatal) in TV do not usually occur on the MMP'S.

We don't need speed bumps on the cart paths

You really are into mandates, aren't you? No large soda drinks anymore, too? And you don't have to go to any PB course to play PB. Just get three other people and go play. But wear a helmet, elbow and knee guards, shatter proof glasses, 50+ sun screen...

Can you compete in league play without going through the courses? Surly taking the courses are a good thing?

While this discussion may be a dead horse for some on this forum, our elected officials may again start to look at adjustments to the multi modal trails according to the discussions at the last PWAC meeting.

You are correct. I was thinking about learning to play well so I could try playing in a league.

The POA bulletin that dropped off monthly in your driveway on front page has MMP rules of the road, Everything you ever wanted to know about MMP
On page 8 It takes about the stripping. I interpreted it as all 42 miles in districts 1 thru 10 will get stripped starting in May June time frame when the snowbirds fly away. I also interpered the discussion is over! It's going to be done. Anybody else read the bulletin?

lots of other information in there also.

Perhaps I'll make an inquiry as to weather they will hire professional strippers, or use local wrinklies.

I am so glad that most of the folks who get excited about moving to this amazing place go to play golf or pickleball, do ceramics or water color, ride bikes, run, walk, play cards, sing in groups, do civic theatre, swim, or hang out in the evening having a social drink or two.


Very few move here to attend meetings to change things or run things.


For that I am very grateful. This place is dang nigh perfect.


Long live the Royal Family.
