It seems to me that because of The Villages and the proliferation of golf carts and encouragement of their use (and also special lanes and roadways for them) that tunnels and bridges should be mandatory over/under major roadways. As far as underwriting the costs of these infrastructural changes, because The Villages have caused the need for these improvements, it is only logical that the Developer should be liable for these projects. Just as Impact Fees may be imposed when large projects 'impact' a community, so should they be levied here.
