I don't think there is anything reasonable that can be done.

No one made us buy here. The developer didn't put up trees to obscure the turnpike -- though it might have helped to dampen the noise.

For the St. Catherine folks, you might have a double whammy when the night-life fires up at Saw Grass. At the squares there are many buildings that enclose the square entertainment. At Sawgrass, there is little to dampen the nightlife from the neighborhood area. There will be more cars, more carts, and more sounds.

..... to answer your question, I think the home sales along the turnpike would have to slow to a crawl. From what I see, they are only ramping up. Therefore, no incentive to do anything.
