In our opinion, the entrance into Dabney looks pretty bad and it may lead to accidents. We think the Developer should have built a roundabout to make it easier for people to turn left after leaving Dabney.

Does the Developer plan to build another road that will allow the residents of Dabney to exit directly onto Route 470?

Your motorcycle ride along Central Parkway was very interesting. I wonder how the residents of Sumterville and Bushnell will like going along that curvy road after leaving their jobs in Leesburg when they are used to driving straight west on 470 at 60 mph. I guess time will tell.
There are 2 Dabney entries, the one on Meggison, and another about a mile or so down 47 at the other end of Chandler. All 3 villages are about the same size, Dabney is just longer and skinnier, also the first few times through when it is new to you it always seems longer.

The Meggison entry into Dabney shouldn't be too bad, it's on the bend in the road just before the gate so traffic will (should) be slowing and there are good sight lines for the intersection.
