TAVARES ? City Council members will discuss today whether to OK an engineering study aimed at gaining approval for two golf-cart crossings on state roads. The $6,500 study would go to the state Department of Transportation, which created the statewide golf-cart crossing rules in October in response to rising public use of the miniature vehicles. If approved, golf-cart drivers could cross State Road 19 at Dead River Road and U.S. Highway 441 at St. Clair Abrams Avenue. Tavares already has an ordinance that permits golf carts on city streets with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less. Many Central Florida communities passed ordinances allowing golf carts on streets and installed electric-charging stations for the environmentally-minded driver. Nowhere are they more popular than in The Villages retirement community, where an estimated 50,000 golf carts cruise the streets.
