It sounds like the plan is focusing on downtown Wildwood around City Hall. There are a lot of cute thrift shops, the Antique mall, Miz Kate’s cotillion where Villages often go for lunch, And a lot of store fronts that have had businesses that started and closed because of the difficulty of negotiating 301. They lend them selves to pedestrian traffic, but crossing 301 is difficult so I’m glad they’re putting a bridge.

I see apartment buildings on Powell coming closer to 44 A so I see a golf cart path being practical to be able to go from those apartment buildings directly to downtown Wildwood. I don’t see golf carts crossing Powell to come into Brownwood.

This looks like an opportunity for enterprising people to consider opening a storefront business in downtown Wildwood
