If the two streets leading back to the Costco location are redesigned to become entrances you can kiss your golf cart access on Wedgewood Lane, and probably Woodridge Drive, good bye!

I am part of the small minority that thinks this is a very poor location for Costco. Remember, Costco will draw shoppers from other areas outside The Villages. It would be much better on 301 or even on Hwy 44 out by the I-75 interchange.
I am also surprised that Costco picked that location. I am sure they got a good deal but can see where traffic will be a nightmare
