Per the mod's suggestion in another thread, here is one to discuss use of our MMP's by carts that belong to non-Villagers.

Okidokie...have at it.

Perhaps it's the same 12 people checking poll results.

The importance of the question posed depends on a) your curiosity quotient diversive or epistemic or b) the answer to the riddle of known knowns, known unknowns, unknown unknowns or unknown knowns c) your motivations d) your propensity for order e) your desire for social justice f) your dislike of crowded cart paths g) your dislike of outliers..............

You can, and probably should, check with the legal bagels on this one but I think you will find that our MMPs, because they belong to a governmental entity (VCDDs), are OPEN to anyone and everyone - just like highways and roads. Shocking but true! The only thing we can do legally is not allow "connectors" to our MMPs from outside The Villages.

Ms Tutt,

I’ve been following the recent dust up on TOTV concerning the use of the Multi Model paths there. With the amount of opinions expressed that the paths were bought and now maintained through the use of amenity fees and the fact that the road system is County owned and maintained has garnered my curiosity. Here in NJ and from what I can find about most states, these types of trails are a gov’t function and not a homeowner owned property. So instead of trying to decide which of the opinions have merit I’ll come right out and ask. Are these paths privately owned and maintained by The Villages VCDD or are they part of the County transportation system?

Thank you for your time

Good Evening,
The paths ARE owned by the Community Development Districts (which are government entities). They are maintained through the assessments (taxes) each of the Districts levy on residents annually. The “on road” paths are the responsibility of the government entity that owns the road.
Hopefully this helps.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Have a great week and happy holidays!
Janet

Yet just looking at the chat's percentages without knowledge of the input, many a story can be made presenting the "data" as if it represents a general condition.

Welcome to the world of polling in politics.

For example.....wow we have 50% representation at the meeting (one of the two present)!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Janet's answer sort of puts an end to this discussion.
