Just drove the cart through the new portion of the Fruitland Park expansion open to the public and found a curious cart path. At the end of Jones Lane there is a cart path extension wide enough for two-way traffic which extends approximately 25 yards East and then is blocked by a black slat wooden fence typically found around the boundaries of The Villages. This appears to be the East side of the current expansion. It is landscaped along both sides. Even more interesting to fuel rumors is that returning Westbound at the end of this short path there is already a stop sign and white painted stop bar on the pavement. Hmmmmm.
Let the rumors begin!

We have heard so many times that an area is a final phase that I ignore it now. I'm sure that great big green area will be an expanded Fruitland Park one day.

The Villages Lake-Sumter, Inc. (Developer) will build on every square inch of land that it can attain. It doesn't matter how it will affect people's quality of living because those in control can afford to isolate themselves from the congestion. They promote an idyllic living existence but forget to tell you that demand exceeds supply on everything. Thank God I decided to be cremated

That's the future expansion to The Villages of Key West. As long as there's land & water they will build.

Expansion to Key West. I like that idea. Would have to have a cart with warp drive though!:coolsmiley:

I think we'll run out of water before land! TV could become another CA water wise...

You are quite correct. As you probably know, the church was willed the land for the Fruitland Park Villages by the owner of the dairy. TV negotiated with the church for the property, and the church negotiated for cart accessibility and temporary use of Colony Cottage for services until the new church is built.
