First is the 462 and 466A intersection. That is going to be disaster on Sundays. We go to church at St Vincent. It is becoming insane getting to and especially getting out on Sunday. The pastor says they are gonna cut a new exit out to 134. That will help a little but when all that new development opens on 462 it will get unbearable.
I agree, and 462 will be a huge concern very soon. 6 buildings with 60 apartment units each are almost ready to open on 462 in a small area. I’m not sure what the traffic will be like once they all open, but I can’t imagine it getting better. The Sheriff’s Department stops and directs traffic accordingly on Saturdays and Sundays to assist, but this is required before the units have even been occupied.

In addition, more multi family units have broken ground directly across the street and almost adjacent to St. Vincent’s. Furthermore, new housing units are almost completed directly across the road from the church. The area will be a menace to traffic problems.

This is all a Wildwood problem, not the Villages concern. The city of Wildwood has Comte logistical catastrophe.
