It is not the road that is failing. It is the pile of sandy soil and rocks the developer dumped next to the road to make a "park" in the middle of the lake that the developer's entities "owns". The "lake" was dredged out deepening an old peat bog that was being mined (or had been) when the developer originally bought it.
What is really sad is that the CDD's can't wait to spend $1.4 million to save a few trees from falling into the developer's lake but have so far avoided trying to correct the very dangerous golf cart crossover in front of the Hy 466 and Morse gate. All carts traveling South to the Hy 466 tunnel must negotiate the "Russian Roulette Crossover" first entering and crossing 2 lanes of southbound cars and then crossing 2 lanes of northbound traffic traveling thru the gates as fast as the gatekeepers can keep the gates open.
Originally a bad design just waiting for a fatal accident to happen. But CDD believes saving a few trees and a sun watchers' parking lot more important.
