Powell Road
I saw a sign on Powell Road that says the Railroad Crossing will be closed from March 9th to March 16th which would in effect block access to 301. I don't know why they wouldn't wait untill 466A was finished before they did that.

KellyJam,
I agree 100%, however, I think I read that this was being done by the railroad, and they would not have any idea .......However, it would have been real nice if our elected officials would have put 2 & 2 together and realized that they just cutoff the DETOUR for 466a. Don't get me started, I will leave it here.

Do you mean the RR crossing on 462, close to 301?

We're simply a development living in the middle of horse, cattle, goat, etc. area We live in the "country," if you will. We don't have a mall or a Costco and we lack many quality things. Most of our roads are narrow two lane (barely) and practically all are in poor condition. We live in an area being run by the "good 'ole boys." So why should we expect anything other than what it is and why should we expect anything different??? BTW, I happen to agree with you.

Bonanza. We have so many wonderful things here. Malls aren't nice anymore. Sam's is good. Good ole boys? Every area is run by locals. Living in the middle of where horses and cattle live is what our family has done for generations and it hasn't hurt us at all. We have almost every store that we had in our suburb of Cincinnati. It is all how anyone looks at things. This is a lovely place to live. Please don't be so unhappy. There are far fewer years in front of us than behind us. If you are lucky enough to live in The Villages, you are lucky enough.

Correct. They will be working on that crossing.

Instead of using 462, go south of 466a to Huey Street.

Could it possibly be that the closing isn't just for general maintenance but for a repair needed due to safety concerns?

ALL, if you are going to use Huey street, be aware of the schools and the speed limit (25 mph normally, 20 mph at posted times), and this road seems to be patrolled on a regular basis. This mornings Daily Sun had a short article about the work the railroad just completed on another crossing, similar to the work that will be done on 462. I am going to try avoiding going west for the entire week......

At the risk of sounding argumentative, those "good ole boys" have been working diligently to satisfy the desires, needs and demands of the rapidly-expanding population here, ergo: the road construction some consider an overwhelming inconvenience. Don't be discouraged...this roadblock is temporary, unlike those in other parts of the country that seem to continue in perpetuity. |

Yikes, again! Obviously, my post didn't come off as I meant it to be. Gracie, I am not unhappy, but I certainly am more verbal than most, as you well know. {;>) I guess you can tell I could never be a politician because I tell it as it is, unlike most people who will sugar coat things. No, I don't miss a mall, per se. I would like to see more local shopping, although Orlando is only an hour away. I do miss a Costco even though we have a Sam's. When I mention the roads, I'm not even speaking about the current construction. I am speaking about our two lane country roads that need to be resurfaced, need to be widened, and currently, need the broken edges repaired. I happen to love all the country animals that are minutes away from us. I wish we could have some of them here! I often pull off the side of the road to watch them. I do find a difference -- a big difference -- in the way things get done here as compared to a larger city. Yes, I'm speaking about the "good 'ole boys." That, however, will never change in my lifetime or for a long time after that, and you really don't want me to expand on this, I'm sure! No, Justus, you don't sound argumentative. We may not agree on everything, but that's fine. I want to hear a perspective from others; it makes me think!
