Last fall a Logan County community opened the doors for golf carts to be used within city limits and its Mayor is wondering if the early spring weather will allow for those to get out sooner than some expected.

Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch indicates the nice weather this March has him curious if residents will dust things off and get out and utilize the newly instated rules for golf carts in the community. 

Given Lincoln's vast road system with several business highways that run through the community, there are some restrictions on where those golf carts can be used according to the Mayor.

Golf cart usage in central Illinois has increased over the years as the prices of gas go up and residents seek to save money on short trips through their communities.
