Hmmmm, the developer has a road agreement with Lake County similar to the one in Sumter County to expand 470 to 4 lanes from where Central Parkway meets the Lake County line east to the end of where the Village of Dabney is. This includes building a second span across the Turnpike. Considering the tax base increases Leesburg and Lake County are about to receive from the new development in Lake County, I’m sure they’ll fine some room for discussion to accommodate the needs of The Villages and the developer. Just a thought…

Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
