These have all involved vehicles attempting either to cross or turn onto this Highway which has a speed limit of 55 mph. And this is despite the fact that there are traffic lights at all 3 intersections. Add golf carts to the mix and who knows what the carnage will be.
I seriously doubt that the developers will be able to acquire permits to tunnel under this Highway or to build a bridge over it.
Greed at work!!!
It's your right to "seriously doubt that the developers will be able to acquire permits to tunnel under this Highway or to build a bridge over it."

My opinion - based on quotes in the article from Mark Morse, Kelsea Morse Manly and Jennifer Parr - is that it's only a matter of time. Oh, and the title of the article, "Golf Car Connectivity For Entire Community."

You can attribute their plans to greed. I give them credit for developing a smart business plan.
