A previous study was conducted in 2008 before the resurfacing and reconstruction project was performed by Sumter County in 2009.
To the extent possible, this study will be utilized as background information for this Project. Morse Boulevard is owned and maintained by Sumter County. Coordination with Sumter County will be necessary for any improvements proposed within their right-of- way.
Representatives from Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., will
provide the District One Board of Supervisors and Residents with
an overview of the proposed scope of work for this project at the District One Board Meeting, scheduled at 8:00 a.m., on Friday, February 10, 2023, at the Savannah Center Regional Recreation Center. This is an opportunity for residents to ask questions regarding the scope of work of this project, or provide any other information, recommendations, or other feedback which would help Kimley-Horn with the final project delivery.

As reported in District Bulletin

This will not change. Anyone in the Sawgrass area will tell you the dangers of Meggison Rd - which will be a route to the Florida Turnpike. One lane (and golf cart lane), no lights, no stop signs, and no traffic circles for miles - and no MMTP. When asked. the response is "that is how it is on Morse Blvd North of 466." This is not true, of course. There are lights up north and gated entrances to villages - there are no gate south of Sawgrass. Oh, and there is no turnpike.
