If you like to talk about delays, let's discuss the Big Dig - Al least 15 years and $18B over budget, and still not right.

There was a 3 month delay because of right of way zoning. The main problem was moving the gas lines. Should be done by March.

There's a FL law that if a road applies for a permit and meets certain criteria, dogs can ride in cars on that road. You'll have to use the one next to it!

I thought that I read that law as requiring that if one or more dogs are in a car being driven on that road then a dog must be driving said car .

And it has to be at least 18 or be driving with an adult dog.

This post has gone to the dogs!!! lol
On a serious note, what baffles me is if they weren't going to work on the road, why not remove the orange cones and let us drive on it until they get the problems straightened out. ARRRGG!

Wait... you're having a logic attack.

If it's taking this long to fix 466A into Wildwood, I can't imagine how long it will take to widen 466A from TV out to 441/27. I probably will not live to see it finished.

466A will be widened by TV for the area from Colony just past where TV of Fruitland Park ends. So that will go quick. The county will widen it from where TV ends to where the 45 mph ends. For the remainder out to 441, the funds have not even been approved yet. So that will take close to forever.

As for the part going from TV to 301, it is the same contractor who did the 441 project. So expect that to be done 2 weeks after hell freezes over.

I feel sorry for the business impact. I used to eat breakfast at the Coffee House a lot. But because of the challenge in getting there I go to Fruitland Park Cafe now. I just hope they don't screw them both up to the point I have to find a Villages option for breakfast.

Kind of what I was thinking. Although, maybe because TV is building all those houses and wants buyers to feel things run smoothly in that area, they might help things along...gifting is a wonderful thing.

Construction (in various waves) of the mixing bowl in No Virginia stretch from around 1964 until 2005 or 2006. provided work for 3 generations of highway engineers.

Maybe WW is trying to match that record...

Actually, the city council was busy trying to prevent TV from taking away their jobs by trying to change the city charter and create districts based on where each current member lives. No time left for silly road problems.
