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.
Except for with folks on this forum, I don't think golf cars are an issue with this new development. It has not been called a golf cart community to my knowledge. Why assume it is?
