The law director said people are not just using the carts to drive down their residential street, they are using them to run to the grocery store or stop by a local park. around the southwest “The reality is, they are out there, and we want to ensure they are safe for the occupant as well as the general public,” said Smith. Under the approved ordinance, the city would strictly prohibit the low-speed vehicles from main thoroughfares in Grove City, such as Broadway, Stringtown Road and London- Groveport Road. The legislation also requires that the golf cart operator have a valid driver’s license and proof of insurance. If a golf cart driver wanted to take the vehicle on a street with a 35 mile per hour speed limit, that cart would have to be inspected by the Grove City Division of Police or another law enforcement agency. The cart would have to be equipped with safety features such as properly working brake lights, head www.columbusmessenger.com lives of others.” After some scheduling conflicts, the school and the organization set up a date in late October where yards of fabric would be brought to school in order for the members of the varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams to become ‘volunteer angels.’ “That is what I call anyone who has a hand in creating the masks and head wear for those in need,” said Kathy Braidich, founder of The Turban Project. “They are true angels to me.” Because a vast majority of the team were novice art and crafters, they were assigned to cut fabric which would be made into surgical masks for men, women and children. “We didn’t want to overwhelm them when they are in the very beginning stages,” said volunteer Bet Brown. “As you can see, there is not a sewing machine in sight.” For more than an hour, the team meticulously attacked the variety of fabric patterns, cutting out more than 600 front-facing masks to be delivered to their more skilled volunteer angel counterparts. When they arrive at their destination, the expert crafters will add a flannel backing and elastic bands to go over the ears and then they will be shipped off to more than 40 hospitals and cancers centers around the country. As Braidich looked around at the cafeteria filled with teenage boys carefully cutting away, she said she hoped they realized how much of an impact they are making on the lives of others. “It may not strike them at this moment that what they are doing is important,” she said, “but what they should know is they will be putting a smile on the face of someone who desperately needs it.” In addition to delivering surgical/medical masks and head wear to hospitals, The Turban Project will also ship them to individual homes upon request.

The cart would also need a windshield, a review mirror, seatbelts and a front and rear license plate. Smith said most of the golf carts on the roads today do not meet these safety standards. Even though council unanimously approved the legislation to regulate low speed vehicles, some had concerns about the new rules. Councilman Roby Schottke said he is concerned about how this legislation would impact the Pinnacle community; an area built around a golf course. He said residents there expect to use their golf carts on the streets or bike paths to get to the golf course. He also said some carts may not easily convert so that they follow the law. Smith argued that the golf carts are not legal now, nor have they ever been under the Ohio revised code. “The residents are not in a worse position now,” said Smith. “Now, they have a way to make them legal.” Davis said he would not have a problem with the golf carts staying within the confines of a neighborhood, where the speed limit is 25 miles per hour. He did express concern with allowing the legal carts on roads that allow for 35 miles per hour speed. “Golf carts disrupt traffic. They do not go 35 miles per hour,” said Davis. Councilman Ted Berry agreed, saying golf carts slow traffic and drivers cannot go around them as they could with a bicycle. “Driving a golf cart during rush hour traffic is not a smart thing,” said Berry. Though council approved the legislation as presented by the city’s administration, council members could revisit the issue to address the carts traveling on roads with a 35 mile per hour speed limit.
