This new path would take a lot of golf cart traffic off the streets Again, my initial impression.
When we hop on the Turnpike at 301, drive 75 MPH and are STILL passing The Villages after driving for ten minutes. That is a long way to go to get to the southern part of The Villages. Driving a clear shot "expressway" in a golf cart would still take over an hour to go from the northern Villages to the furthest south. As I always say, "pack a lunch".

Nice thought though.
