Said she's on the fence but worried about underage drivers without seat belts, and noted e-bikes are just as bad; wants better patrol enforcement.

SupportiveChris OvermanMar 4, 2026

Strongly pro-golf-cart; as part of a multi-generational family compound off FM 2252, says cart access to visit grandparents would be a huge blessing amid worsening traffic.

New to the issue but supportive; suggested registration, permits, insurance, valid driver's licenses, lights, a consistent lower speed limit, and a 12-month pilot program.

SupportiveChance BoughamerMar 4, 2026

Advocated for golf carts, saying registration and safety features are fine but it's unfair to restrict the whole town over underage kids; noted benefits for elderly residents.

OpposedCindy and Al SegoviaMar 4, 2026

Written comment: opposed to carts on public roads, especially Bat Cave Road with its blind hills and growing traffic; fine with gated communities only.

SupportiveDavid KrawczynskiMar 4, 2026

Written comment: supportive, arguing golf-cart-friendly communities see 5-15% property value increases and stronger buyer demand.

OpposedLinda PottsMar 4, 2026

Written comment: if approved, restrict carts to gated communities — Bat Cave Road traffic has quadrupled in three years and it's an accident waiting to happen.

Second comment period: came out against golf carts, citing near-misses with e-bikes running stop signs and a teenage rollover accident she witnessed in Comal County.
