I am a bit surprised that there was only one post about this issue. I don't know if the developer can do anything about it, but I would love to Comcast have some real competition throughout the Villages. I'd love to see AT&T U-verse available. We have had great customer service from them and would sign up "in a heartbeat" if they began service in our area.

Why would an EZ Pass type transponder defeat the safety aspect of the gates? What am I missing?

I've never tried it without rolling down the window. Will certainly try it tomorrow.

I don't understand why you think carts should be exempt from using the gates like the cars do.

Indoor sport pool for laps and exercise, paid membership (part of priority golf/pool/tennis membership, maybe?). After-dusk hours are needed for more lap swimming and combo swim that sport pool schedules do not have room for. Classes take up most of the time.

Stack the street signs. May look nice the way they are, but are useless to identify a cross street when coming in the opposite direction. Hard to explain but we have all experienced it at one time or another looking for a side street to make a turn.

Personally, I do not see where wanting a specific retail store would be a survey response, since it is up the store/chain to see that TV is a good fit for them, rent wise as well as demographically. But I do like quite a few of the retailers mentioned by other posters here & on other threads.

On my survey I will incorporate the signs indicating north & south, as well as east & west; especially coming out of tunnels.

I will also include more dog parks and probably a pet waste disposal center (at least at the dog parks). There are options out there that burn pet waste by solar power, as well as pet waste stations that burn it to create energy to power a street light. Throwing it out in the regular trash eventually gets into ground water.

I also like the idea of better security cameras overall.

I'd also like another camera view of the three town squares.

Have not made up my mind on golf cart identification, as I don't see how it could include rental carts (which I hope make up most of the infractions).

I will also add new pool furniture at any neighborhood or regional/family pool needing it.

They ask you on the survey what stores you would like to see come to TV, and they give you a list of about 20 choices. They obviously feel it's appropriate, but I wonder if they are able to do anything about it.

ID of rental carts could be registered at the cart rental shop, which could keep a running list.

Of course, I can remember very few of those things. Aside from indoor swimming pool and another dog park, what is on your wish list?

Or what would you like to see changed? Please be reasonable and don't turn this into a bashing of any one group.



Changes won't be done as a result here, changes are done by your District supervisor, and the AAC board. so get in touch with your District representative on the board.

This survey is all about selling homes, the developers top priority.
My opinion after 12 years here, take it, or leave it.

Part of their advertising for lease options.

Additional access for golf carts to cross 27/442 preferably between the post office area and CVS. If that bridge is closed or something happens,a lot of us are up a creek.

I would also think that Home Depot, Sam's Club, Best Buy and all of the merchants that are not accessible by golf cart would be willing chip in some money to build a tunnel.

The guard lets cars through with carts trying to cross. Cars and carts get backed up blocking traffic flow. And in a cart you can't see around the corner enough to know when the guard opens the gate when headed from Baily Trail to cross over and go under Buena Vista. Very dangerous.

And under Old Camp where the Buena Vista Trail crosses near traffic circle. The top two are higher priority than this one.
Excellent and I fully agree and forgot to put it on my survey. Didn't seem to be a question that triggered that thought. Also, extended neighborhood pool hours since a covered pool will never be enough. Extended hours would be good for me though.
