Rubiconomics: Looking over the horizon it is going to get more costly to operate and maintain this community. suggestions on just how to do that more efficiently and effectively are most welcome. We do that as residents and we accomplished the impossible.

We go to one, and often two town squares almost every night, to have dinner and watch the bands and dance. We live closest to LSL, and so if we like the band better at Spanish Springs or Brownwood, we go to one of those. We might dine at one square and go to enjoy music at the other for a couple of hours until 9pm when the bands finish.

A big reason to take a shuttle between squares is the time it takes to get there by golf cart. It's a long haul, going from north of 466 to Brownwood, and vice versa.

Faster transport by trolley bus would give people far more options of where to spend their time. Not everyone plants themselves for the whole night at one bar or in one square to enjoy the live entertainment.

Shuttles between squares would also alleviate parking (far away) at Spanish Springs when The Sharon has concerts and events with 1,000 attendees.

let's see, how do i know that? how can you not?? how are trolleys, whose purpose is strictly PR and go all over the villages and not just to squares, to also ferry people to all the squares?? 2 different routes. now normally that would mean you need more vehicles since they can't be in two places at once, can they? well what do you know? I honestly don't see how anything else you said relates to needing more vehicles if you are trying to use the trolleys as shuttles. plus the trolleys are the developers' property and not public transit.

For those who say they would be happy to pay, why not just call the Village Taxi ? You can even get picked up at your homes so you won't even have to worry about driving to a square.
