It’s a crap shoot at best to make it across at times with a bicycle or golf cart because, well frankly no one slows down or stops!

Why didn’t the “Developer” foresee this calamity? Obviously at this point, the best thing to do would be to put in a gate shack like they did in Pinellas or Belle Meade. I wonder if the dollar has taken precedence over any concern whatsoever to the sustainability of the community?

One possible solution would be to put in a stoplight at the golf cart crossing, like they have up at Colony for golf cart traffic going north and south on Morse. It was really very poor planning at this location, there should have been a tunnel to cross Meggison.
