What some folks are missing is that Morse Blvd is not the developer's responsibility. It is a County road and all improvements such as the ones done awhile back which included widening of road, re-striping lanes, turn lanes and traffic signals at Rio Grande and San Marino came after much study and the appropriation of funds by Sumter County. I think most will agree that during the peak season there is much more traffic being carried on this road then was ever anticipated by the developer and Sumter County. Unfortunately none of the improvements did anything to remedy the problem with golf carts traveling on Morse having to cross multiple lanes of traffic to make turns or to get to tunnel that runs under CR 466. The problem is somewhat lessened between the peak seasons but still has worsened with population increase and more vehicles and golf carts being driven at higher speeds by folks who are always in a rush. Bottom line if you have a suggestion for fixing the problem, take it to the Sumter County Commissioners. They do listen to voters.
