The city of Miami might only be around 450,000 but when measuring the population of that area it is far more accurate to cite the population of the Miami Metropolitan Statistic Area which is over 6 Million. Contrast that with the population of The Villages Metropolitan Statistic Area published as being 123,996 in 2016. I have lived in a couple very fast growing areas in my life and I think they are doing a fairly good job here in planning comparatively. I am hoping that as businesses come into the southern areas it will help alleviate a lot of the current traffic issues. They could also do a lot to computerize the signals based on time of day, traffic demands etc which would help a lot.
