I hope you are right. However, compared with waiting at a traffic light on 27/441, dealing with a double lane round about is a piece of cake.

The common refrain around here when we talk about golf carts exceeding the speed limit by a couple of miles per hour is, "what's the rush, we are retired". I guess I feel that way about the extra few minutes it takes to go to Orlando the current way. I'd rather keep all the additional traffic off Morse. To claim that there will not be additional traffic is not logical - a shortcut begs for additional traffic.
