In 2014, Villager Larry Grimes called for change at the Morse roundabout after he was seriously injured when his golf cart was involved in an accident at the same location. He suffered  a concussion and three fractured ribs. He said the large, heavy bollards, intended to prevent misguided automobile drivers from entering the multi-modal path, were a danger to golf carts.
He called for their replacement with the white pliable bollards seen at other locations in The Villages.
