Resident proposes making Carleton golf-cart-friendly; police advise caution
Summary
A resident urged the council to consider allowing golf carts on village streets and provided rules used by Frenchtown; Officer Tony Modica answered safety and traffic-law questions and the council took the suggestion under advisement.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident Leslie Anderson proposed that the Village of Carleton become "golf-cart-friendly," presenting facts and paperwork about rules and safety frameworks other municipalities use (materials from Frenchtown were distributed to council). Councilmember Debbie Stolkey provided the Frenchtown paperwork to council for review.
Officer Tony Modica of the Carleton Police Department answered questions about safety and traffic rules governing such vehicles. The council did not take immediate regulatory action; members said they would take the idea under advisement and review the provided materials before any formal proposal or ordinance was drafted.
No timeline or specific referral was recorded in the minutes; the suggestion remains at the discussion stage pending any staff recommendation or council directive.
