From my house in Collier to Lopez is 14 miles. That's about an hour in a cart or bike. To me, anything longer than a half hour in a cart, once the novelty wears off, is not fun. It's discouraging.

Thanks to 301 I can be there in 22 minutes by car. I think if this is a thread about brainstorming than the possibility of a wider, faster route on the east side is worth examining.

They are widening 466A. I wonder if the long range plan is to widen it all the way to 441? A lot can happen in 15 years. If there is not a build out and TV continues to grow at the current pace it will have a population of 260,000.
