It seems to me the safety issues could be addressed in a much more cost effective manor with a couple of changes.
#1. Strictly enforce the speed limit. Very likely this would provide a positive cash flow until cars learn to slow down.
#2. Alter the crossover southbound at the 466 gate. I can think of a few ways this might be accomplished, but a traffic study examining the best possible solutions could arrive at something at a much lower cost than making the entire run a separate MMP.
A tunnel would be expensive, but far more manageable than changing the whole stretch over to a MMP.
From my experience, slow-driving traffic creates more traffic...
Golf cart speeding over 20 MPH from 441 to 466 has nothing to do with traffic on Morse Blvd...
Maybe fixing the golf cart cross-over at 466 would help...
