From St. Charles you go west onto Tamarind Grove Run, then right onto Carriage Hill Drive and you come out the back gate onto CR 462. The gate is currently being used for construction. The Morse family was originally planning to leave the gate open to residents once the construction is completed but now they are having second thoughts.

We think this gate should be left open for the Villages listed above to allow residents to get to everything west and south of this part of TV without having to ....<SNIP>
Thank you.
While it's easy to understand the grandstanding mentality of the excited mob in these posts,
you'll be lucky if there's a closed gate to hop or an opening for a bicycle!
Those would be good compromises for us bicyclists, but they're 'not gonna do it'

Can anyone imagine having the homes on the road leading to that portal?

We own some property on 462 and it will be a MAJOR thoroughfare from 301 to Brownwood, a truck route we were told, too, with the industry growing up near the tracks.

Brownwood will be the most popular new place for outsiders, and close to Wildwood, and motorists who want to avoid the WW congestion will come down 301 and cut over on 462.

FYI:
We're flying down for the BIG PUBLIC HEARING October 13 in Wildwood, 7:30 PM to help determine public opinion on CR 462

It's in Wildwood just off 466A at their community center

See you there!
