I am disappointed looking at the map of the proposed extension, since it appears to go toward the gulf coast. Here is a vote for a new express toll road that goes straight up the middle of the peninsula towards Jacksonville. Currently there is no easy and direct way from I 95 north of JAX to the Villages. When driving all the way from New England to the Villages, the worst part of the entire drive is from Jacksonville to our Villages home (except the weather is usually much better).
