I don't understand the concern about additional traffic. We're talking St. Charles, Tamarind, and Carriage. St. Charles and Tamarind are already major roads designed to get us to and from our neighborhood. We don't know about Carriage yet but I think it's safe to assume it will be a similar road if there is a gate at one end.

Think about it. If someone wants to take Buena Vista to, let say, the library on 466A they would still use streets like St. Charles or Tamarind to get to Buena Vista. Instead of turning left onto St. Charles they would turn right.

And, as mentioned, homes along these streets already see a steady flow of in and out traffic. For every car taking the shortcut route there's one less car going toward Buena Vista. Same number of cars but more evenly distributed.

There's no other way for any of us to get to and from our homes without taking one or more of the major roads like St. Charles. We're not talking about cutting through any one's neighborhood. We're talking about using the same thoroughfares we use now.

Also, adding an unmanned electric gate would provide the same security as most Villages' main entrances.
