Seems a “long” ways around versus just taking the path straight. Maybe because it was difficult to cross Lake Sumter Landing road then to continue on the path? Maybe a serious accident happened there? Anyone know why?
the original design there put the MMP crossing too close to the roundabout, for the amount of traffic. I don't know if there was a bad accident or if it was identified as dangerous before there was a crash. The traffic was rerouted through the Winn Dixie parking lot to make it safer for carts to get across Lake Sumter Landing.
