  1. Enough with electric anything on the trails. That goes for golf carts and the e-bikers zooming 25mph down the trail as they barely pedal, pretending they are getting a cardio workout.

    1. I’m with you there. As someone who uses the Monon on foot regularly (and has been hit twice), I am over bikers riding in tandem to pass me or flying by with no announcement.

    2. There are some careless cyclists that speed along at 20 mph. But I would be much more worried about a 1000 lb + golf cart topping out at 25 mph.

  2. To those parents who allow their children without drivers licenses to operate their golf carts: do you realize you have no insurance coverage for their accidents?

  3. Westfield IN population approximately 59000
    Number of golf carts 900
    Percentage 1.53%
    Golf carts have proven to be a safe and effective means of transportation when used correctly. With proper enforcement and registration this can be accomplished. Most of the golf carts are concentrated in 2 neighborhoods Bridgewater and Chatham. I understand people’s concerns about the trails. How many have used the Midland in the golf cart zone via golf cart? I would suggest taking a ride before forming your opinion.

    1. Found the golf cart dealer!
      I have NO interest in seeing the use of Golf Carts increase in my or any other city. Most of the people using them could stand to walk more anyway…
