I was looking at Google maps, and there does NOT appear to be ANY golf cart access from Wildwood to this location. The newly rebuilt 466a has BIKE lanes, not golf cart lanes. There is currently NO golf cart crossing of 466a in this area, so IMHO we will not see a lot of golf carts with this development, cars will probably be a much bigger problem.
Also, putting in a GC crossing on 466a requires a lot more then painting some lines and changing traffic signal timing. Once you are on the TV side, there is nowhere to legally drive a GC until you get to Burnsed Blvd. I am not a traffic engineer, but this would probably require widening Pinellas Place from the gate to 466a for a GC lane. Not sure what else might be required.
