Also, the area where you questioned if it will be another roundabout, yes that is what will go there. There will be 2 roundabouts between the turnpike and the entrance to Fenney on CR468.
The original plans for Fenney referred to them as Veranda Villas so that has stuck in my head, but you are correct, they are designer homes with fenced yards.

I agree, the drawing released just 7 months ago showed 2 traffic circles on 468 (see attached map), but as we know plans change. The drawings show a traffic circle at 501/468 but they have now installed traffic lights at that intersection. If they were to have put in the circle they would have done so now instead of spending the money on the double traffic lights in all 4 directions.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
