money spent unecessarily on inefficient or unneeded projects deprives high efficiency and necessary projects from being made. I do drive the MMPs after dark and there are a few(operative word is few) spots where some further highlighting would be helpful. i find that the few reflectors on the MMPs through a place like Turtle Mound do the job quite well. We do not need a major project throughout the community. A few relectors or reflective paint on a few centerlines will improve visibility quite adequately.

How well can you see the path at night in the rain with an oncoming golf cart's lights reflecting on your windshield? To me, this is an important safety issue that is well worth the $1-2 per household per year.

Not sure I see your point. Don't get me wrong...I totally agree with your statement. But it's true for all projects in any budget, not just trail striping.

What happened to "it's not about the money, it's the principal"?

It has always been about the money. Striping was a good idea until the cost was published.

Rather than stripping all districts, let District 8 stripe as an experiment. As people travel through this district on the multi-modal trails, let Villagers see for themselves if stripping the trails does help at night. As no one else in the world has the data or experience to help with this issue, we may be required to try it here on a small scale. Spend a little to save a lot or try it as you may grow to like it. |

In some cases, the money is the principle. Not necessarily so when someone commits a criminal act.
This case has much to do with efficient use of scarce resources (money)

I suspect it will be difficult/impossible to collect data that will allow for the testing of the hypothesis that striping improves safety, to a statistically significant degree. In the absence of real data, typically you would want to go with the opinion of an expert. His opinion was not to stripe. South of 466A, there are some blind curves with embedded reflectors in the middle of the MMP. They serve double duty as they "thump" if you go over them with your tires. These seem like a good idea.

I would also like to know the same thing. If people really need a stripe because they can't see well at night, in spite of having headlights, then why not a stripe down the middle dividing lanes. It would serve a dual purpose of ensuring people stay on their own side of the path, and give them a guide to follow so they don't run off the road. The number of people who drive down the middle of the path as if it is a one way street is ridiculous.
