I agree with you. The crossings you mention have not been well planned for a future that now has most of the area north of 466A developed. Traffic flows, auto and carts, can gridlock at Colony and at Buena Vista/St Charles with long waits to cross which breeds impatience which breeds potential accidents. There is a coziness between developers and Counties on planning, traffic flow, etc. I encountered this when I wrote a letter to the Lake County Manager asking for a review of the 466/rolling acres intersection because of the u-turns to get into the new medical center. The answer was that Developers "approved" the entrances and traffic flows as a part of the process. According to the folk at the landscaping farm there, accidents are very common at that intersection. So, I don't have high hopes. One would think that the colony problem could be resolved by running a cart path in back of the bank into the colony plaza shopping center which would help alleviate backups....but we will have to see.
