I'd like to see another way for those of us wast of 441/72 to get to the other side in our golf carts. Currently the golf cart bridge is the only route.
I live in Silver Lake (The "Historic District") about a half mile from the CVS on Avenida Central. In order to get to CVS, I travel a mile to the bridge and then another mile from the bridge to CVS. It's actually almost 2-1/2 miles.

A tunnel would be nice from Griffin Ave to Avenida Central.

Another tunnel going from the Target shopping center to the Best Buy area would also be great. And while we're at it, how about golf cart access to Home Depot and Sam's Club.

Some of this could be accomplished by simply allowing golf carts to use the cross walk between Griffin and Avenida Central over 441/27. If it's safe enough to walk across, how is it not safe for a golf cart?
