Hamilton considers two proposals for downtown golf cart service

During the recent Milford City Council meeting, discussions centered on enhancing accessibility in the downtown area through potential partnerships for transportation services. The council reviewed two proposals for golf cart services aimed at improving mobility for residents and visitors alike.

One proposal involves a three-year contract with a company that would provide golf carts for public use. After the first year, the city would own the carts, allowing for long-term benefits. The council member emphasized that this service could help reduce costs through advertising opportunities, with local businesses able to promote themselves on the exterior of the carts. This initiative aims to encourage visitors to explore downtown while alleviating parking congestion.

The second proposal, from a different company, includes additional features such as interactive tablets that provide information about local businesses. This could enhance the user experience by making it easier for visitors to navigate the area and discover shops and restaurants.

Council members expressed the need for further discussion on these proposals, weighing the potential benefits against the costs involved. The conversation highlighted the importance of accessibility in downtown Milford, especially as the area attracts more visitors. The council is considering how to best implement these services to promote local businesses and improve the overall experience for residents and tourists.

As the council moves forward, they aim to gather community feedback and explore funding options, including potential grants, to support this initiative. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact how residents and visitors navigate the downtown area, fostering a more vibrant and accessible community.
