So they morphed. The MMP system in TV is what it is TODAY, not what it was in the past.

The paths RE WIDE ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE ALL INTERESTS.

OR in the privacy of one's own home. UNLESS, you like stuff like that and those folks choose the bandstand, until they are arrested.

I guess I'm the only one who read on the on-line news what Diane Spencer (District 5) said about the striping. Because I can't locate the article again, I will paraphrase: "I'm all for making the decision to go ahead with the vinyl striping, then worry about the cost later."


That sounds like a tax-and-spend politician, and we, the "little people", can foot the bill...

Comments like that make my blood boil. That is the reason I wish the developer could just run things forever.

This subject and expenditure and vocal group(s) finding new ways to spend money they do not have.....is only one example of what will be taking place more than we would like as residents take over control of how TV operates.

Mark your calendars for when these new "wants" begin to arise and eventually some get through anf the amenity fees begin to rise.

Let us hope the developer keeps something in place for a long....LONG.....time to moderate that eventuality.

That has been my point all along.

There are many miles of paths that cannot accommodate all interests safely. Pretty much all the tunnels fall into this category.

Looking at the time many of these post occured, it is clear the posters did not attend the PWAC meeting this morning. I hope you at least made an effort to contact your district rep to express your position". If not, in my opinion you've lost your right to bitch.....

By whose decision and judgment? Are the streets to blame when accidents happen? What then if the cart paths are widened and lights put in and striping in the middle and on the edges continue and seat belts are mandated. Golf carts are open sided motor vehicles allowed to be driven by unlicensed drivers over the age of 14 which is a state law. As long as people drink and drive you can light those paths until the cows come home but you will have deaths because a golf cart will not win when a car hits them or a driver drives impaired.

Have you never known of an intersection or street that was considered dangerous by locals? How about a busy street going past a playground where children play?
But I'm not blaming the developer, if that's your concern. I just don't believe the developer built these older neighborhood paths for anything other than golf carts.

Will be interesting to see if the number of cars pulling into the paths increase, if they stripe them. This will make them look like other streets....... Just a thought.
