We were at Costco yesterday afternoon. Plenty of parking. Picked up about 15 items and the checkout was fast. The store was very busy but that was expected. There was not a traffic issue at all. Pleasent surprise!
Also, in the Costco area on Wedgewood this morning for an hour from 9:30 to 10:30 and the traffic was not much busier than it usually is.

So, all the Chicken Littles were wrong ? Shocking.

How was it for golf carts going through the intersection by Costco/Fresh Market on Wedgewood Lane?

This morning Between 9-9:50am there might have been 3 golf carts at Costco. We traveled from 301, no issues with traffic. Fuel line went quickly, but steady stream of cars entering the parking when we were exiting

The Sheriff canine division was well represented in the store, without K-9. So that was disappointing not seeing a puppy sniffing at the pharmacy department or waiting for pizza.

I saw no issues whatsoever there. It appears that all this bad traffic talk on here by worriers has not come to fruition. Looks like Costco knew what they were doing planting a store in this location.

I have been worried about that intersection too as well as the golf cart tunnel under CR101 near CVS and Publix et al. The tunnel is nearest to Tequila Cantina | Mexican Kitchen in The Villages, FL

Cars coming from the shopping at the plaza seemed less. But it was before lunch time. Come High season it will be a train wreck as usual. I rarely come that way because trust issues for cars is scary

I did have a car in the left lane roundabout at BV and Odell, try to turn into traffic because they missed their exit. That stopped everything for a few minutes until person realized they would have to jump curbs and run over a car to do so.

It was a FL plate with can’t see over the steering wheel person..so all good.

That roundabout seems to be a big draw for unusual circumstances. Multiple accidents and a couple struck by a car walking across the roundabout.

Worried, why?

That is a very large group here. They really should start their own hand wringing club.

So, narrow window of time and NO snowbirds. What survey!

Very small tunnel with sharp turns and close to roads on East Side. Not built for a large amount of traffic . Could be OK on West Side if limited usage .

Most people who will shop there, are avoiding it the first week, I know I am. Working people around here, will be coming on the weekend. You may eat your words. That said, I hope you're right.

I just got back from there (Thursday night). I went about 6 PM. It wasn't any busier than any other Costco I've been to. I had to park about 75 yards from the entrance but I normally do that anyways. There was hardly any traffic on 466A and getting in and out was a piece of cake. I imagine Saturdays will be busy though.
