I believe this would solve most of the problem but there were some reasons why they couldn't or wouldn't jump on it.... whether financial, land ownership or what, I don't recall.
They may also be waiting to see how traffic patterns/volume change once Pinellas Plaza is developed with a new Publix up by the Library. But, that's more than a year away.
I agree, it is a very congested and dangerous crossover for golf carts.

Maybe a couple of years back I read in the minutes of a meeting that the VCDD had looked into options for fixing the traffic flow near Colony. The idea of routing golf cart traffic behind the bank was ruled out as not being a feasible solution. Supposedly a traffic study is being done this month.
