CDD 10 supervisor issues warning about golf cart traffic on Moyer Loop

A Community Development District 10 supervisor has voiced concerns about golf cart traffic on Moyer Loop.

Supervisor Joyce Edmonds discussed the situation on Moyer Loop East on Thursday afternoon at the CDD 10 Board of Supervisors meeting. The area of concern is not far from the Village of LaBelle entrance.

She said she has been approached by several residents concerned about safety at the location, in particular where golf carts leave the multi-modal path and merge with cars on Moyer Loop.

“There’s no stop sign, there’s no yield sign, there’s nothing,” Edmonds said.

She said those making the transition from the multi-modal path to the roadway have to make a hard left turn of their body to get a good view of the oncoming automobile traffic.

A golf cart enters Moyer Loop from the multi-modal path.

“What do I need to protect my constituents?” Edmonds asked.

She compared the situation to one that previously existed at the Village of Belvedere gate.

“Motor vehicle traffic had to stop for a card reader, but golf traffic also entered at the same time with very little room,” Edmonds said.

Edmonds said bollards could improve the situation.

Bollards have been installed on Rolling Acres Road between two busy shopping centers.

She pointed to the bollards that went up a couple of years ago on Rolling Acres Road near its intersection with U.S. Hwy. 27/441. Drivers were cutting across Rolling Acres Road between Rolling Acres Plaza and Village Crossroads. Accidents were occurring frequently before Lake County finally took action.

The bollards would clearly separate traffic, Edmonds said.

She also called for a stop sign to be located at the end of the multi-modal path where golf cart traffic merges onto Moyer Loop.

It was decided that the CDD 10 Board would send a letter to Sumter County explaining the concerns of the residents. Sumter County is responsible for the roadways and would have approved the original design plan.
