The only place that would really notice any increase in cart traffic is the bridge over 441 and Paradise Drive. After the bridge everyone spreads out to their destinations. I would much rather have golf carts in the parking areas than cars! You can get 4 carts in where it is parallel parking and 2 where it angle parking. Have you ever been to the town squares and had to park a long ways away? What would it be like if it was all carts? The non-Village people are STILL going to come here for the shopping and entertainment.

More cars, more traffic. Isn't Morse Blvd, 441 & 466 busy enough?

Believe it or not there are people living in the villages on a meager fixed income and choose not to have a car, they get to Walmart for cheap provisions and prescriptions via Golf cart. I feel for them. Some villagers, although not many, work in walmart and do not drive a car. They will be out of luck and a job.

Also, isn't that the reason the wall came down.

BINGO! I absolutely HATE 441. I can literally get to wal-mart quicker by cart even though I go a mile out of the way using the cart bridge.
A LOT of those carts parked in the wal-mart lot will now be more freaking cars going 35 in a 45 on Hwy 441. UGH.

So I understand, can Villagers still get to Lowes but not Walmart by golf cart? If that is the case, Villagers still can get to both by golf cart by driving to the Buffalo Ridge Walmart, although a longer ride for many. I know that does not help the people who commute to their job by golf cart at the Walmart near Lowes. Never been to Aldi so can't comment on that.

...and when Mr. Brown shuts down his path, due to liability, Harbor Chase will be the only destination.

Disregarding 911 events, if all carts returned home, northbound and southbound would be equal. That would be my wild guess.

I believe the obvious liability issue along with the adverse possession issue is why Duke has acted.
Maybe Duke put the sign up to protect against liability. If they really want to block cart traffic, a sign won't work.

To be more clear. Are there more carts from TV visiting Walmart, than there are Stonecrest carts visiting TV.

Agreed. The sign not going to stop traffic. Done to protect against lawsuits When someone tried to sue, they'll have ace in they're pocket. Only way to stop traffic would be gate and lock.

Signs only stop law bidding people or people that's not special.

If I was on a quiz program, my answer would be more carts from TV visit Walmart than Stonecrest carts visit TV. Because you need a card to open the gate to get into TV, no red button.

To any of you that cross that boundary of Duke Energy's "no trespassing" sign, would you want anyone crossing into an area that you deemed no trespassing? Didn't think so.

Did Duke put up that sign, or someone's joke?

Actually we have too many driving cars.
