Per our phone conversation yesterday regarding golf carts ~nd safety on Spanish
Main Drive. I made a site visit today to review this area. It is my opinion that use of
golf carts for maintenance is an appropriate use on this roadway. The speed limit is
posted at 30 mph. there is an adjacent bike path, and I see no problem or safety
issues with using golf carts in this area.
Should you have any questions or need any additional information. please feel free
to contact me.
