We have multi modal paths in the Villages. Multi modal meaning multiple modes of transportation. I do know what moguls are but do not know what multi moguls are.

You talk about cart paths and multi- mogul paths. I'm not sure what you mean. The golf cart paths within golf courses are to be used only by golfers, of course.

The multi-modal paths are for varied modes of travel: bikes, walkers, golfcarts.

If you were "putting around" on golf course cart paths, yes, you would encounter some irate golfers since it is not allowed and dangerous.

nope, only on the mutli-modal paths, I got accidently on golf course path and the Ambassador immediately directed me where I made the wrong turn, he was nice and said visiting people get on that course all the time. I noticed the most part (course not all) rude and obnoxious drivers (men) were ones with clubs racing to their tee times.. the ladies was real nice and thanked me for pulling over when I could. I only refer to the multi-mogal paths now as golf cart paths beings they banned mopeds which is not golf course path. Most knew We were those visiting snowbirds due to the slow cart. Some old AH had the gull to yell, But, overall the experience was nice. I am surprised being pet owner you don't experience the same attitude from some?

That's where Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch and the like get together with Gary Morse and decide who can use the paths and who cannot.

This is a ridiculous thing to be arguing about. I thought the OP's question was answered by the VCDD many pages ago.

Even though it's OK to walk pets on multi-modal paths, I wouldn't do it. I've seen impatient golf cart drivers yelling and honking their horns at bicycles, pedestrians and slower carts. I prefer the serenity of the dog park where the dogs can romp and play off leash.

I called and checked and was told that a moped was not allowed to use the path....

Excellent!

Now there needs to be no more added to this thread. It has been answered.

" I've seen impatient golf cart drivers yelling and honking their horns at bicycles, pedestrians and slower carts."

So I'm not the only one experienced this...

Hey Buggie If you don't want no more to be added "THEN don't ADD"

It must be the heat.

Is there a full moon?

It's the meteor shower. Strange postings tonight.

May I add, sorry Buggyone, that I didn't mean to give the impression that impatient drivers are the norm. 99.9% of golf cart drivers are lovely, respectful people.

Time for the boat air horn in a can, if you are walking, riding a bike, or just driving slower.

There was a woman driving her motor-scooter on the multi-modal paths this morning heading north to Morse, where she then took to the road-way and passed us in our LSV so know it goes faster though I don't know the CC! She did have a license plate on the back. Later she was seen on a sidewalk, on her scooter, in SS talking with someone. That too wouldn't be "legal" I'm sure. This was the 2nd time in about a week I've seen a person on scooter on the multi-modal paths.

Not to beat a dead horse as my parents used to say.
