Yes. I don't see why they won't coordinate those lights.
And Buena Vista to Powell Rd, the lights are looooooooong reds. I drive that route every day to the Wildwood Dog Park on Powell Rd & Huey.

I've found that, coming back from the park, if I turn right onto the road behind Walgreens (that Winn-Dixie is on), then right onto Pinellas and follow that to Buena Vista, you miss all the lights except 466A/Buena Vista. I've tried it going to the park, and it doesn't seem to save much time. You still have the light at 466A & Powell and a 50/50 chance to hit the light at Pinellas & 466A red. If I'm coming back from Brownwood, I do the same.

I don't have as much of a hassle going the other way, Buena Vista down 466A to 441. I don't always hit every light red.
