Yes, that is true. But do you realize how far south of BuenaVista that tunnel is? Its almost to the new building for the memory center. If you have gone that far south, it makes more sense to continue on to Colony. If you wanted to go to Pinellas Plaza, you would have to go thru the tunnel and cross 466A and backtrack all the way back to BuenaVista and then on to the new Pinellas shopping center. And then repeat the same thing on the return home.
There is absolutely NO WAY to cross under or over 466A very near or north of BuenaVista. I believe it is another reason that Brownwood is not utilized more because it is so difficult to get to by golf cart. I'm new around here, but I believe more people would use the new Sweetbay and the new stores more in the Pinellas Plaza if there was easier golf cart access across or under 466A north of BuenaVista thus relieving the heavy traffic at Colony.
