As you may know, there is a shortcut to CR 462 through Buttonwood that can save residents in Buttonwood, Pennecamp, St. Charles, Poinciana, Sunset Ridge, Sunset Point, Liberty Park, St. James, and Tamarind Grove Villages several miles of driving to and from the several churches (St. Vincent dePaul Catholic Church, The Christian Life Church, a Lutheran church, a Community church, and the new Village of Faith Church), the new community center, the new library, the new Sweetbay (to be built), Route 301, and the Florida Turnpike. From St. Charles you go west onto Tamarind Grove Run, then right onto Carriage Hill Drive and you come out the back gate onto CR 462. The gate is currently being used for construction. The Morse family was originally planning to leave the gate open to residents once the construction is completed but now they are having second thoughts.

We think this gate should be left open for the Villages listed above to allow residents to get to everything west and south of this part of TV without having to take Buena Vista to 466A to CR 462 (across from the library on 466A) and beyond. We are building in Pennecamp and will be going to the new Village of Faith Church that just opened this past week. When the new Sweetbay opens this shortcut will make it the closest grocery shopping for most residents in this area.

All the churches on CR462 and Sweetbay (?) are getting together to ask the Morse family to reconsider leaving this route open permanently. Overwhelming support from TV residents would really help them make their case. To those of you who live in this part of TV, would you support keeping this route open? If so, please voice your support on this thread.

Thank you.

I believe leaving the road open with acess to 462 would be a county decisson, not the Villages

runs the county?

[njbchbum]

would leaving this route open permanently be yet another complementary opportunity for the general motoring public to enter the villages?

People who buy houses along or near that road will RUE THE DAY that it gets left open to public traffic from 462. It will not be a quiet neighborhood street. Rainey Trail was supposed to be low-traffic and believe me it is not. Leave the major arterial roads (Buena Vista, Morse, 466 and 466a) to handle the entering/exiting traffic. The Villages is specifically planned to keep cars from short-cutting through the residential neighborhoods.

Thank you.

While it's easy to understand the grandstanding mentality of the excited mob in these posts,
you'll be lucky if there's a closed gate to hop or an opening for a bicycle!
Those would be good compromises for us bicyclists, but they're 'not gonna do it'

Can anyone imagine having the homes on the road leading to that portal?

We own some property on 462 and it will be a MAJOR thoroughfare from 301 to Brownwood, a truck route we were told, too, with the industry growing up near the tracks.

Brownwood will be the most popular new place for outsiders, and close to Wildwood, and motorists who want to avoid the WW congestion will come down 301 and cut over on 462.

FYI:
We're flying down for the BIG PUBLIC HEARING October 13 in Wildwood, 7:30 PM to help determine public opinion on CR 462

It's in Wildwood just off 466A at their community center

See you there!

That road is a designated construction entrance at this time, Once you turn off of Tamarind Grove Run onto the haul road,, and should stay that way. We almost had a bad wreck yesterday at that intersection. There are alot of construction vehicles using 462 for that entrance. . Once that area is complete then if left open use it. But remember construction vehicles have the right of way. Yesterday, a small car decided a grader would stop for it. Almost turned out bad..

The last mast plan map does not show this are left open as a entrance for The Villages..

Although I would like to have a shorter path to where I'm going, I don't think it would be fair for the home owners on the route of the shortcut. They paid for privacy and quiet. Having all this traffic going through the neighborhood would **** them off. My house backs up to Triggerfish (a cross road between Buttonwood Run And Pennecamp) At the moment, with all the construction in the area the road is busy and noisy. I would hope once the construction is over, the street will be quieter with most traffic being golf carts. My vote (does my vote count?) is discontinue the shortcut as soon as the construction is over.

When Hadley was being built there was a construction entrance from 466A close to Colony Plaza. They closed it.

thats what happened to chula vista. most of the traffic is just people taking a short cut.

[starflyte1]

Could a "golf cart cut" be made in the fence for carts only? We have one at the end of our street and lots of carts use it-really is a short cut.

Guywin,
I am with you. None of the new homes will face these streets. They will all be built on side streets. Look at Morse Blvd. You don't think those people bought homes wsnting privacy? But did they get it? They got lots of traffic and two traffic lights!
Sorry folks, but as TV grow, so grows the traffic. And just in case you are not aware of it, Jennifer has bought land for 11,000 more homes to go up, so we are not through growing yet! And there are rumors going around...I emphasize the word RUMORS ... that more land in Wildwood is being purchased by TV.
I feel that the present construction road should be made public. ... but that is just my opinion and I do not live in the Buttonwood area.

[Tom Hannon]

If we made a shortcut through your block you might have a difference of opinion, Quilt. Is it fair to disrupt other people lives for the convenience of others who benefit? The Village is a paradise. Let us keep it that way.
