Default A multi-lane extension of Buena Vista Blvd. south of SR 44

from the Sumter County web site ->http://sumtercountyfl.gov/AgendaCent...0?fileID=22286

"5. Project Description:
a. Project Scope/Description (please be as detailed as possible):
A multi-lane extension of Buena Vista Blvd. south of SR 44 and to terminate at C-468."

OK! Now how about the multi-modal path going south? No mention of it in the details! What details!

Maybe a cart bridge replica of the Tobin bridge in Boston. Yeah!

Not to get the natives restless, but just who do you think will be paying for that bridge?

Obviously this is still in the early stages of design. The drawing they reference in the FDOT document is little more than a cocktail napkin drawing.

No Chi. The Morses aren't adverse to paying for some road broadening as they did along 466A when they added the homes built on the Dairy Farm a couple of years ago. Nothing like a good Capitalist venture funding a successful metropolitian area built and run by a good Capitalist Family.

Go Morses.

I think they should just build it all the way to Orlando---saves time on future expansion

People are flooding to Florida. We are now the second most populous state, just behind California and ahead of New York. Someone is going to build it.

I would rather the Morses build it and it is a group of mostly over 55, mostly sane people than have patches and bunches built by other developers who will have the breeders moving in.

Now before you jump on me, everyone knows I love kids, but I love living in this community with folks of the same age, even those who form clubs of those younger to keep my age out. I love the way the Morses build things and run things.

YOU knew that Doc.

I agree. Except that we are 3rd in population, Texas has many more people, and we are way behind Calif.

I could give a darn who builds the road. Just find it interesting that a detailed description is requested resulting in the briefest of replies with no mention of a multi modal trail. As no Federal dollars are requested, I suppose the design will have greater flexibility to including a trail. We pay for everything here!
