TO be fair, The Villages doesnt put golf cart access into any commercial property they do not own.

I would think that if a cop sees a golf cart anywhere in Trail winds or Belmont, all he needs to do is follow them out of the property and issue a ticket. As far as I know there’s no legal access to those property’s by golf cart.

The Villages GPS shows a golf cart route south through the 466a tunnel, west along Pinellas and then back across 466a (near the Marathon gas station) to Trailwinds. I have not noticed an access but will look for one tomorrow.

That path does NOT exist, I live in that area, NO legal access to Trailwinds from TV. There is a sign before the gas station by the villages health that states "NO GOLF CARTS BEYOND THIS POINT". The occasional golf cart MIGHT be from the homes or apartments in that are part of the property.

Unregistered vehicle, uninsured, !! And i can only Imagine what else they will get you for !!

The rumors that get repeated here are really funny sometimes.

The developers last name is Morse like Morse Blvd.

CORRECT

And reason-----the city council of Wildwood are all primarily party X, and 5,000 new voters within their city limits would be voting Y, so they would unemployed. Therefore, no approval for TV to develop that land.

I do not see why the Villages should put in a golf cart path to property they do not own.

I never suggested it was legal to drive a cart on 466A, not really sure where you got that from post. That being said, by golf cart, take Pinellas to 466A. If you’re street legal, you can cross 466A. The road becomes Penrose Place. Once you cross 466a you have legal access to all of the shops and locations in Trailwinds.

[asiebel]

There is no path from TV to Lowes on 466A. There is no path because TV did not want to have an opening that could be used by anyone. The Villages wanted to buy that land and build a village. There were Villages backing up right there. That a path would have to go through.

I saw a cart there last week. I couldn't figure out how he got there, 'legally'.

[xkeowner]

Wildwood and Lady Lake should look to the solution Viera FL (near Melbourne) has to golf cart travel in that area. If adapted by either city it would increase the customer base for many of their businesses. Our son's family probably uses their golf cart even more than we use ours.
