I assume that, before the development of the area south of I27, CR466 was a single-track road, so there might have been no point in linking the two.

Also, the name "Morse Boulevard" suggests that it was built to service The Villages, unless an existing road was renamed.

Is it true that it is maintained by the county? If so, why are there gates at each end?

Thank you
If you want the history of the villages make a trip to Rohan Rec Center. They have the wall full of drawings of the growth of the villages from day one to 44
