3. A 4-way traffic light.
4. Continue to pay to have a person direct traffic during peak hours.
5. A tunnel or bridge at last resort, with these two methods you would still have to merge golf carts when they wanted turn to go to Colony Plaza.

Sounds about right to me
There is no way that a bridge will cost only $400,000. and tunnel will be equally or more expensive over time. Costs for maintenance and damage caused to structures by careless drivers, vandalism, etc .Closings for who knows what from time to time. These are not good options.
Quite often the most simple remedy for a situation is the best. Of course, architects and engineers want to build. If you want to get down to earth advice on the eventual outcome of a project, talk to a public works director who has to keep the thing open and running , year after year.And do it on budget.
IMHO , a nice flower bed, barrier at Colony Rec will do fine.
