I appreciated the responsiveness from the Director.

Glad you received a response and that the Director will go there to review. I hope he sits on a park bench and watches. I go through that intersection often. It definitely needs a 4 way stop. (1) Many people come to a complete stop even though they have the right of way. (2) You see people motioning others to proceed through because no one knows who should go next. (3) Golf cart drivers do legal u-turns to pull in front of the golf cart store which causes flow disruptions.

Now, with increased traffic (vehicle, cart) going through that intersection, I hope they put in a 4 way stop.

It is a 10 mph limit in that area. There is no problem getting through that intersection safely. All it takes is a little bit of patience.

This is the corner where the Villages Golf Cars is located. It is also the intersection where most of the carts coming from the bridge and other locations enter Brownwood.

The reason for my suggestion is close calls and watching other ones.

Lousy drivers can't be fixed by more signs or less signs. People driving the cars and carts are the problem.

Speed limit signs are routinely ignored by, seemingly, most.
There is often poor view of oncoming traffic.
"All it takes is a little bit of patience". The nearly non-stop flow of traffic at times seems to stretch the patience of many to the nearly breaking point, and many get antsy and try pushing their way into traffic creating potential hazard.

I agree with OP. I'm a very confident driver, and I've watched vehicles departing the Square, and flying thru that intersection, making it a challenge to cross.

Also, I think the intersection at Colony Blvd needs to be addressed, as well.
