The roadways in question are publicly owned (county) in order to convert them over to resident only, which basically what this is about would mean someone taking ownership from the county and providing all upkeep and liability on the new "resident only" sections

Would certainly make it safer during the evening hours.

The only problem I see with this is that if town square seat saving is such a problem, what do you think will happen with parking spot saving? That could get interesting!

An idea with a lot of merit. Although it doesn't solve all issues it would help several. I'd like to piggyback your thought.
Again we are only speaking of the four streets that make the small circle around the squares - not the entire town. Let's not forget the majority of parking for the squares are in the adjacent parking lots.

Make the inside lanes and parking spots that touch the square proper golf cart only. The outside lanes and parking spots for cars. With maximizing handicap spots in that outside area.
- Increases parking spots 2x - 4x factor for the cart spots
- Allows good visibility to sit in cart and observe entertainment
- Better visibility for carts backing out of those new spots. No SUVs to peek around backing out
- Showcases The Square as a golf cart communty
- Everyone still has use of "public roads"
- Will increase vehicle handicap spots and still be in the square

Thanks for being constructive.

Lets keep both the cars and golf carts and get rid of the dogs.

Foot traffic only would result in many people not being able to go, period. Should only able bodied people be allowed in the squares?

Considering the current system has worked just fine for the past 15+ years; would someone re-state what the objective of the proposed change is/was to accomplish?

Don’t close the streets. Make parking on the street at the squares handicapped and carts only

Good question.

I think that's how some people are built. It doesn't matter if it's food, clothing or shelter. There mind is always working, asking how can I make this even better. I wonder if they would have ended up here if that creative spark was missing. I think it keeps you young.
