Still growing, with what has been estimated 30% + or - additional residents during peak season. Unfortunately all of the great planning done to accomodate the increasing population did not happen until development started south of CR 466. North of CR 466 some of the roads and golf cart lanes that were built earlier were done without the growth estimates that have now become reality. The Village Hospital is one example of poor planning, Morse Blvd north of CR 466 is another example. Long waits in ER and for a room, daily traffic jams, golf carts, walkers, bicyclists all sharing the same single lane road. Many must cross all traffic lanes to get to mail stops and cart paths to travel to new areas. Roads are patched and not re-surfaced. IMO, Morse Blvd North should either be widened or through traffic should not be permitted. I believe the developer has learned to plan better for the future but fixing things that were not planned well enough in the past usually becomes other's responsibility.
