The installation of a gate has begun at the site of the “Berlin Wall” controversy from this summer.
A crew as on site Thursday for the first phase of the work which is expected to take three days.
Villagers (and outside residents) in golf carts were still able to pass through the area this afternoon off Paradise Drive on the Historic Side of The Villages even as the work progressed.
An Orlando television station news crew was on site this afternoon to report on the latest development.
The Village Center Community Development District approved on Oct. 9 an agreement for gate maintenance.
“The Wall” went up in the wee hours of Aug. 10 and set off a firestorm of protests, including a rally Aug. 12 in downtown Spanish Springs Town Square.
The wall was dismantled on Aug. 16.
