How does this affect the Villages. Look at the similar tree branches in the Villages.
Are any of these branches on the verge of falling? Do you think your golf cart or you would survive?

The county should start trimming the moss & inspecting for hazards--its more important than replacing pine straw.

My previous post #10 asked if you had brought this to the attention of FDOT, Sumter County or TV. Did you or is this the standard make a big proclamation and then do nothing about it?

If you paint them white that way you will see them better when they fall and get out of the way.

Few years back a tree fell on two golf carts on the golf course in TV. There was a storm coming in when it happened

Please don't forget bicycles, walkers and rollerbladers use the MMPs as well. Any study of the overhanging trees on the paths must include this group as well.

Maybe we should divert the cart path striping expense to pay for the study on tree limb accidents OR stripe the tree limbs so if they fall we can see them?

Such a happy and positive topic. What a surprise.
