Let me preface my comment on the fact that I love TV and wouldn't want to live anywhere else at this time of my life. But (there's always a "but"), as long a Morse Blvd. is the main North/South highway in TV, the traffic, bad already, will become intolerable if another 50,000 people move here. I live just a half block of Morse, north of 466, and even during this time of the year with the snowbirds gone, I generally have to wait for twenty or thirty cars to pass before I can pull out with my golf cart and drive to the mail station in the early afternoon. This was not the case when I moved here five years ago. When the birds return you can expect to wait for fifty or more cars to pass. My thought is that the developer should commit to widening Morse between 466 and 27/441 before he is allowed to build that many more houses. That would include new dedicated multimode paths and tunnels as necessary. Otherwise this paradise is going to become just another high traffic nightmare. I don't blame the developer for this situation, as he never conceived of the scope of this place when Morse Blvd. was designed. But I do expect the family with its well-deserved billions of dollars to do something about it.
