"My opinion is that a lot of tourists come to Ambergris Caye because of the golf carts and sandy roads, not in spite of them." ....and replaced by hundreds of tourists, many traveling as families, looking for diving, snorkeling, fishing, perhaps an income investment to get away from what is becoming a hostile tax environment in the USA, these folks now deserve better services and infrastructure.

I'm sorry, I have yet to speak with a single tourist visitor this last year who approved of the roads when they were potholed and muddy and almost impassable. Reactions included embarrassment (for the island),shock, incredulity, anger (for their aching backs) but never anything positive. Is this how we are to treat our valued tourist visitors?

Those of you who own property here and complain of inevitable progress and have never owned a golf cart or other vehicle on this island might have a point and a place to complain. It won't do much good but it's easy to see your point of view and I sympathize with you.

For the others ... once you bought your vehicle and used the road you became a part of the problem which now has to be solved.
