This is a major expensive.
Why can't Meggison be considered a main thoroughfare like Buna Vista or Morris Blvd and do away with the gates?
Answer: Try crossing over Meggison from the pro shop to the starter shack at Southern Oaks. The cart crossing is already misplaced by not being directly behind the gate like most in TV. Their location about 80-100 yards "downstream' allows vehicles entering Citrus Grove to be accelerating by the time they reach the crossing and those exiting have not yet slowed down. That crossing should be right past the gate or a tunnel should have been built. It is a major accident waiting to happen. Removing the gate would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
