I've been volunteering on trams for 10 years now and most of what was said above rings true. I finally told the tram chair persons I didn't want to drive the yellow route because of all the people and especially kids between Theatre in the Woods and the flight line. Some alternative needs to be done to get around that area, maybe using the perimeter road. The tram vols get just as frustrated as the riders when the lines get long. I was told to shift from red to green to reduce the backlog going West which worked great. Each route gets busy at certain times and relatively quiet at others. I knew we were going to be busy this year on the first Sunday we were so busy. Everyone who supports the trams are very much appreciated! I have met some amazing people who were riding my tram.
We do have to remember that Airventure Oshkosh only happens one week per year when we want major capital improvements but I sure wish the roads were in better shape! Tram drivers memorize all the serious bumps and try to slow down but there were some bad ones this year and some that have been bad for years.
Wittman Road between the Hanger Cafe and the Antique Red barn should be severely limited for vehicles, especially cars and golf carts.
By my observation the most hazardous golf cart drivers are exhibitors, EAA Staff, and Security. Rules won't solve the problem; only enforcement, unfortunately.
I've been to 35 Conventions in a row. I can remember seeing Paul P. in his red Volkswagen quite often out and about on the grounds; giving members his familiar thumbs up. I can't remember every seeing Mr. Pelton out and about at all. I'm sure he has many demands on his time....
Still, I can't wait for Oshkosh 2019!
