It's about time, Goldwingnut has been complaining about this for a while now.

This is not unlike those who claim that there is a parking problem at SS and SL because they have to walk a bit.

There is no parking problem. We have been there many times and have always found a parking spot. Always.

How sad, what happened to us. We were the rebellious generation, the generation who walked on Washington, walked on Selma, protested on campuses, questioned authority. Now whenever a Karen complains we trip over ourselves to comply. We have become the people we made fun of when we were young. Good Lord, who cares if you park on the fing lawn.

The Planners should have anticipated the problem when designing the area. They had the same cart parking problem at Lake Sumter Landing on the grass area at the northeast corner across from the square. The problem was finally solved by installing wood posts and roping off the area.

The parking lot is too small and you might end up parking a very long way away when it gets crowded.
The parking lot isn’t too small. People are just lazy.

Most of those lanes are not marked as fire lanes and do not have no parking signs, why is it illegal to park there???

Scooping out the dirt and putting down gravel could have been a no maintenance solution and fit the train yard theme.

Have you ever come out of the store and found a car parked right next to the crosswalk? Step past that car and have another car passing and almost hitting you? Illegal probably not. Inconsiderate brain-dead elitist stupidity? Yes

“ Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot’
They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum *
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em “ Joni

Great news indeed. It was really hard driving down the multi-modal at night with the people darting across the MM path to get to/from their carts. We park over in the golf cart-only area by the golf shop and there are always spaces there. Come on people.

Exactly!
Many people are just too lazy to walk even a little bit. We see it all the time at LSL. People will drive around for 10 minutes just trying to find a spot so they don't have to walk 2 blocks. Yes, some have health issues but most don't.

That's why we're one of the most obese countries in the world. Far to many people exercise way too little, and eat way too much. It's a nationwide problem.

I’m at Sawgrass all the time, NEVER could I not find a legal parking spot - I’m not buying the posts that say there is no parking available.
