I think the villa wall on the Tamarind Grove side contribute to the problem but I'm not a traffic engineer so that is only an observation. But anyone with an ounce of common sense can look at that intersection and see that it is a problem. The intersection is poorly designed as is the cart crossing on Colony Blvd. and the bottleneck that has been created at Bailey Trail and Buena Vista gate. I assume this all falls under the jurisdiction of county government but someone needs to act before others are injured or worse.
Go to this site to see a list of Sumter County Commissioners, with their bio's and telephone numbers. You can act!
