Yeah I knew that would be the argument against. But l would argue I am more dangerous on a bicycle going twice as fast as golf cart to a pedestrian than a golf cart.
I would also say like you said in Florida it is very common to mix carts with everything else, even on the street with cars. Even here south down, Meredith Bay, Grosse point, they mix the two. The cart path from Meredith Bay to Akwa mixes the two at a very steep grade and is still safe for pedestrians.

Don't get me wrong I know it will never happen but if the wow trail had to happen this would make it cool. Fun to talk about.

(side note, still wish the tracks had a pedestrian trolley)

Default Grouse Point

Grouse Point has steep grades too. When my parents lived there, a 12-year old girl died rolling a golf cart down a steep embankment. Kind of off topic, but golf carts, while fun, can be dangerous on steep hills.

I think it would be awesome to take the golf cart to the weirs or Meredith. Wishful thinking.

Why does the WOW trail have to be seasonal? It would make a great snowmobile trail as well.

Default SD/LB Preservation?

If they want to preserve the land, why are they building on the land? They should leave it alone and let nature do her thing! Preservation my butt!
