Who would the younger people be, who can't drive and need a sidewalk on 466A? If it's a TV neighborhood it would be mostly older people, who if they can't drive would probably be in golf carts. I would think the greater need is for a tunnel under 466A into Pinellas Plaza. But they don't seem to want to put any more tunnels under 466A. (I could be wrong...)

A wider tax base for Wildwood coming from retirees would benefit Wildwood's schools without adding any students.

I'll still miss the moo cows.
