The worst scenario would be to build a $1 million bridge and nobody wants to use it. I agree with Mark Morse--just install traffic signal lights. Cars and carts together abide by traffic signal lights at Lake Sumter Landing and on Rio Grande and on Del Mar. Simple and effective. The human traffic control by Community Watch is actually working pretty well at Colony now. Just automate it. A bridge? Seriously????


I agree!
