It will be like the Long Island Expressway in slow motion. Having a monorail system would cut back the traffic big time. Like I said, it is a stretch but considering what The Villages has become, nothing is impossible or unpractical.

Instead of a monorail system, trolley's would be a better idea. There are too many reasons why a monorail system wouldn't work. Sure, there may be 110,00 people that own here but they all won't be on the road at the same time. IMHO congestion won't be much different than it is now even when we're completely built out. There will always be accidents and discussions on this topic. Short of a Star trek type transporter, there is no viable solution but at least trolley's would offer some people options. However, you would still need to get to the monorail or trolly station and only to get to point A, B or C. What about all of the points in between i.e shopping?
