We also drove it today. We had driven to Clearwater to take my Mom home and with the heavy traffic we came back through Bushnell and onto 468 to 44 and across to the new Morse extension.
We didn't measure the mileage, but did notice that there are only 3 traffic circles south of Pinellas. This is a beautiful drive and we were surprised that the new Belle Glade courses run along the road for such a long distance to the east.
Earlier we have measured the mileage from Morse to Buena Vista on 44 is 3 miles. That is a really long stretch.
We also drove to Lake Deaton from 44 and it is a large lake, but so full of vegetation that it doesn't look useable for pleasure boating or fishing. The weeds cover most of the surface of the lake. It looks like it will be really buggy in the summer. It really needs some major clean up.
The medians on Morse are landscaped and the entrances at the traffic circles are in place.
The quality of design and the work done thus far is fantastic! Certainly up to The Villages standards. Can't wait to see the Rec center there!
