Many of those people would shop or do business at the new Pinellas shopping area, but because there is NO easy way to cross 466A except near Colony, people use colony because it ends up being closer. If there was a tunnel or bridge under or over 466A near BuenaVista, I believe a great deal of people would choose to use the establishments at Pinellas and that would considerably reduce the traffic problem at colony
There is a tunnel that goes under 466A at Buena Vista. It's been there since they widened 466A from 2 lanes to 4. The golf cart lane goes down past Turtle Mound golf course, then under 466A.
