1) NB gate operations continue as is
2) Move the SB gate back (north) 100-200 ft. (Yes, electricity required)
3) Install video cameras at each corner of building
4) Install and connect Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the cameras
5)Write "IF", "THEN" AI scenarios to control gates, such as:
a) IF 2 or more golf cars have been waiting > 2 minutes, THEN lower BOTH SB and NB gates to allow safe crossing of golf cars of BOTH lanes of car traffic
b) IF only 1 golf car waiting, THEN max wait time is 4 minutes (example only)
c) IF NB Morse starts to back up, THEN .........
These are only a few examples of "IF" "THEN" scenarios that can be imagined, however AI can be programmed for thousands of situations.
I am aware of other challenges, such as 911 vehicles, power outages, car wrecks, etc.
Some of these challenges may be eliminated by maintaining current staffing, using AI only for notification of traffic issues.
6) Install Red/Green signal lights to notify golf cars they can SAFELY cross both lanes of Morse without stopping in the middle median.
This is just a baseline that perhaps someone waaay smarter than me can take and run with.

With respect, I don’t think you have enough experience with the golf cart lanes in that area to understand how they work, along with the tunnels. By every one driving respectfully and attentively, it’s rare for a cart to wait more than a few seconds to cross Morse. Two minutes? Four minutes? Followed by a long line of carts all bunched together as they head down the paths? Oh, we wouldn’t like that! As it is, if a CAR arrives at 466 and Morse just as a light changes, it can be up to 4.5 minutes before the lights cycle through and turn green again.
