Yes, there are southbound carts that need to cross Colony and cross 466A, or vice versa, and a bridge or tunnel would solve that issue.

Just wondering if a one-way, east-bound cart path running parallel to the north side of Colony starting at the cart crossing and ending at the shopping plaza would be a viable option.
Looking at the map I was wondering why instead of a side walk, they did'nt run a multi use path right down that strip you just mentioned on the north side of Colony blvd. Looked to me like that would have been the better option.
