Today we rode our bike all the way to Hwy 44 on the closed section of Buena Vista. The Brownwood site is between 44A and 44; looks like it will be a major regional shopping center with frontage on the highway, as well as the new Town Square. There is a huge amount of large construction equipment there already working on the site.

The golf cart road and tunnels paralleling the entire length of Buena Vista are complete, already connecting to the trail along 466A which connects to both Buena Vista and Morse Blvd cart trails north of 466A. So access to the new Town Square will be easy and beautiful.

Circles, medians and ROWs along the sides have not been landscaped yet, but everything else appears to be done. The road and golf cart paths are still officially closed; however, we were not the only "recreational" users there this weekend (joggers, cyclists . . .). Be warned -- we heard rumors that $140 tickets were given out to some cyclists who used the road a few months ago.
