Default Horrible traffic at that intersection

Located at 1155 Waxman Drive, the new Walmart will occupy 33.5 acres of land owned by The Villages Land Operating Co. The site includes 867 parking spaces and 38 cart corrals on 14.75 acres. Access to the store will be available via Morse Boulevard and Waxman Drive, where a new traffic light may be installed to ease traffic flow.

This intersection is a nightmare now. There are plenty of accidents. One was even fatal recently . With the new schools in the south, traffic backs up terrible in both directions during the morning time frame of 7 to 8 as well as 2:45 to 5 now! It backs up through the traffic circle on Morse before you get to the light . It also backs up to the traffic circle at times where it splits from Morse to warm springs. I hope they do a traffic study because I don’t foresee it getting any better putting in a Walmart on that corner .
