I have immediate access To a gun all my life and that gives me great comfort.

True.....but that will open in six months or so so full connectivity will occur, I was a little premature.

Obviously you do not know what you are talking about.

Once you are across the CC bridge, you can get on the beautiful walking path around the lake in CC, cross over the picturesque bridge into Bradford, turn left and take a LONG walk around the lakes, then cross the foot bridge into St. Catherine's and take a nice walk along the lakes in that neighborhood, eventually reaching the temporary end of the asphalt walking path not far from where Sawgrass Grove is being built.

The walking paths north of the turnpike are, in my opinion, nicer than the paths south of the turnpike.

Yes! When it is open it will be open.

It’s a non-event. Most of us south of 44 could care less about being connected to one or two neighborhoods

an honorable Villages Official--Is that an oxymoron?

The first people to cross the CC bridge happened yesterday. No announcement, no public event, interesting; I wonder why.
I guess they didn't want that other website to scoop them on the publicity.
Showed up in the newspaper and their YouTube site now has a video of it, after 12 hours posted 23 views...

I have to wonder, were the twenty people who were selected sworn to secrecy? Any of you who were selected, can you share any details on when you were notified and if there were "strings attached"?

Now “there’re” saying October 9th; who wants to place bets that it’s not done then?

It was posted Tuesday on the thevillages.com by some idiot that it was open, so after work on Tuesday, I drove my cart down there hoping to get it to my new home in Bradford - nope, it was still gated. Wednesday - posted again on tv.com, it’s open; nope, still gated. So yesterday, to rub salt in the wounds of people who are living in Chitty Chatty and Bradford, like me, they open it up to the “dignitaries” to be the first to cross it and then close it again until 10/9.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

How about speaking for yourself?

I continue to work and my golf cart is my main mode of transportation to get to work and back to my home in Bradford.

Well until you've waited three years for a bridge you can't start speaking for some of us. How long has your wait been again?
