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.

When we bought here, not too many years ago, you could still see trucks coming and going from the bog mining operation, I believe it was a Black Cow project. We were beyond amazed when they shut it all down and started to drain and fill the land to build houses on it. At some time in the future Mother Nature will want her piece of the pie back!
