The developer owns the land on both sides of the turnpike where the bridge is going in. The preliminary work has already started in the areas south of Monarch Grove known as phases 8a, 8b, and 8c. (the Community Support District/high school area is phase 11 and 12) The Gibson Water Treatment plant is already built to provide the wells and water source for the area, it is just south of the Southern Oaks/Baily bridge area on the south side of the turnpike.

When the developer was given the opportunity to acquire the Wildwood Springs development (known now as Fenney and DeSoto), they may have underestimated the importance of the connectivity provided by the bridges. I seriously doubt they will make the same mistake twice.

My best guess is that next year at this time we'll be talking about the upcoming opening of the Southern Oaks bridge and the roads getting ready to open between Monarch Grove and the bridge. Shortly thereafter we'll be talking about the new homes going up for sale in the Village of (any guesses?) in CDD15.

Here's some of the layouts for phases 8a and 8b&c in the attached pages. Look carefully in the upper left corner and you'll see a key that all the way through phase 17 c&d. The developer is so far ahead of our thinking when it comes to planning, half of us will be dead before they complete what they've already got planned.
