It’s no secret 462 is having a lot of traffic problems Northwest of 466A between St Vincent DePaul and 301. Church services demand the attention of police officers prior to and after services to expedite traffic flow several time periods a week. The road is of course just 2 lanes. Soon there will be more retail in the area and hundreds more residential domiciles utilized right along this corridor. In addition, yes, there was just more ground broken along the road for yet more multi family dwellings. Adding to the situation are church attendances increasing to the point of more than 1000 parishioners to some services. The road can’t be widened. What was Wildwood thinking of when they OKed the situation?

Maybe they wanted us to appreciate how wonderfully The Villages has designed its highway system.

We often drive to the Wildwood area. My wife likes the post office there, we both love the barbeque from Oakwood, we like going to the ACE hardware, and we enjoy going to Sparrs. We often drive along 462 and we agree that it is going to be a nightmare.

We avoid the area Saturday evenings and Sunday. More of a travel issue on 466a East and West DAILY.

Why was Morse Blvd north of 466 not made as 4 lane road? Developer got most things right but not this one.

Probably because they did not realize how big The Villages would become.

When we were planning to move here in 2016, we did not even consider any house that would require driving along that part of Morse Road.

Wildwood also missed the boat when they reconstructed 466a, and left it at 3 lanes (2 travel 1 chicken), this should have been 4 lanes with dedicated left turn lanes, just my humble opinion.

Cha ching !
More i s better!

They just want money. None of the elected boneheads live there so it doesn't affect them.

Don’t forget there are 8 churches on 462 including St Vincent and those churches have a fairly large congregation. We must get used to traffic unfortunately

It took me 10 minutes yesterday, to drive from the curve on 462 to the light at 466A. Wildwood only allows churches to be built on 462 apparently, and the brilliant minds on the Wildwood commission have let building churches and housing go unrestrained. I'm afraid the damage is done.

My theory is that they want a slow traffic flow, especially thru the residential area.

I think you are giving them too much credit.

Why can’t the road be widened?
