The bigger problem will be when all those people from all those new homes hop in their golf carts to go to Publix at Colony, or to LSL (a lot closer than Brownwood for them), or to get a cone at Peach Wave in the summer, or to go to a meeting or the pool at Colony Cottage Rec Center.

Can you imagine thousands of additional golf carts coming and going thru the tunnel under 466A next to Colony Cottage Rec Center, then lining up at the new stop light?

I've tried to think of an alternative 466A crossover for all those people and I can't see anyplace that is doable east of the Colony shopping center on the north side of 466A. All that property is private, with no golf cart or multi-modal lanes.

This will be interesting.
