Seems more likely access could be provided when the 470 bridge is replaced. But that is more than 5 years away..

Looking at recent Turnpike construction, pedestrian access is provided on bridges across the Turnpike.

Plus a bridge similar to Waterlilly was provided for Orange Blossom Trail across the Turnpike.
