As a Villager, I'm excited for Eastport and Middleton, but if I were a local outside the Villages, I wouldn't like this too much.
I work at a local public institution and I see daily how heavily traveled 470 is for folks coming off 75 and the Turnpike to get to Leesburg and the other towns. I can only imagine that they are going to strongly dislike this new inconvenience. From here out, 470 will never be the same for the locals.
