This article starts out with the sentence "The possibility of building a golf cart bridge over Colony Boulevard is now on the table". It goes on to discuss in detail what the Members of the Project Wide Advisory Committee are working on regarding this matter. It does not state that this bridge is a done deal, therefore maybe the people in the other thread who have some excellent, and much less expensive, ideas could get in touch with this Committee and Ms. Tutt with their excellent suggestions.
By the way, the quoted $400,000 cost is just a drop in the bucket - paragraph 6 in this article states "this estimate does not include engineering fees or other costs such as designing it to meet TV architectural design standards........." So it is going to be very expensive.

Thanks for the update. I'll wait for the final plan but if it is workable, I'd like to see the bridge. As Gracie pointed out in a previous post, the impact per household would not be great and a smooth crossing at that point would be wonderful. I would rather not see Colony Blvd blocked off since it may lead to moving the traffic problem out to 466A and the entry to Colony.
I guess we all need to stay tuned!
