Gas-Sipping golf carts
Win over small towns

By Steve Schmadeke
Tribune Reporter

With gasoline topping $4 a gallon, retiree Carl Kaufman didn't see much point in filling up his Chevy truck just to get the mail and run errands in the small Iroquois County town where he has lived for more than 30 years.

So Crescent City passed an ordinance last month allowing golf carts on its streets, Kaufman went out and bought one.

"I don't have to drive my truck around town anymore," he said recently. "It's been three weeks, and I'm still burning my first [5-gallon] tank."

Three Iroqouis County burgs-Crestcent City, Ashkum and Danforth-recently passed ordinances opening their streets to golf carts, and at least two other towns south of Kankakee were poised to enact similar laws.

My question is how can enviromentally , concerned, progressive cities, core neighborhoods, suburban shoppers / moms / grandparents, retirement communities, your bolingbrooks, deerfields, or your open, yet close proximity new development homes, Arizona boom areas where folks are starting to build progressive, world class structures & infrastructures for the future expansion of people moving from east, westward in the next twenty years, how can these progressive, enviromentally concsious people reduce excessive dependance on gasoline and still maintain a comfortable, satisfying lifestyle ( thinking short, close to home shopping excursions in relatively 1 or 2 miles from home) to shopping that can be done within a few miles in the local area. How can these people get around freely, comfortably, without using a ton of gasoline just to go 1 or 2 miles?

Is this a practical direction, alternative or what?

Please let us know what you think? It's past time, that our nation had this conversation......
