Do your homework. Kimley-Horn is an award winning engineering firm in the U.S. It has been ranked one of the top engineering firms in the country for highway/roadway design. The study prepared for The Villages was done by Kimberly-Horn, and has the backing of the engineering firm and was completed and reviewed by licensed professional civil engineers. The firm is a large one and has specially subgroups that handle the various issues that come up like environmental, traffic engineering, roadway design, aviation, etc. There is no question these people are the experts. Why people with no engineering background think they are smarter than licensed professional engineers just amazes me.
