We try to not go to the squares....especially during high season due to the crowds/traffic. Well in the late afternoons into the evenings that is. WAY too congested. Pedestrians just walk without checking for vehicles 1st. Vehicles change lanes w'out signaling and just doing their own thing.

Agreed. "Golf carts only" is discriminatory to the Squares that are open to the public, and to those who are handicapped & may not have a cart.

True. So many just walking out into the street between vehicles or engrossed in their cell phones. Actually this behavior is villages wide.

things are fine. the only reasonable alternative IMO foot traffic only. If you think car owners should walk then you should park your cart and do the same.

The squares like any other popular site in FL (or anywhere else) will be busy/crowded. It is what it is. And most of us who frequent these places don't think venues need to be modified to suit the few. No matter how modified there will always be those who would change it....no matter what.

It gets down to the simple choice to go/attend or not.

" The thought of golf carts only in the Town Squares seems to be gathering some momentum . It has been suggested that the four streets which make up the squares be accessible only by golf cart. "

The " thought " is gathering momentum where ? Among the same folks who have brought us the new useless weekly activities bulletin ? The folks who seem to be getting their desire to cut back on the flowers realized ? Those folks who have designated themselves the opinion leaders to speak for the majority ?
People move here and then want to reshape everything to their point of view .

And the real majority does not do enough in their demands to offset that self designated minority.
It is what is happening across our beloved country.
When all gets said and done even the self designated KNOW they are the minority....and VULNERABLE!!

There is that entitled attitude again....

The fact that a 51-49 vote signifies a majority-minority whereby the majority gets to dictate to 49% of the population is not only immaturely selfish, it is also sociopathic.

"Seems to be gathering momentum"...by who/whom?


Please explain who/whom you're referencing.

I agree they should try it again. Two things I remember about that "experiment," as it was termed: 1. it raised a big stink from people not wanting those valet spaces taken away, and 2. the experiment was run in the summer when few people were there. So they concluded not enough people used it to make it worthwhile.

BTW, that is a generic "they." I do not remember who conducted this experiment, so I don't know who "they" is.
