These have all involved vehicles attempting either to cross or turn onto this Highway which has a speed limit of 55 mph. And this is despite the fact that there are traffic lights at all 3 intersections. Add golf carts to the mix and who knows what the carnage will be.
I seriously doubt that the developers will be able to acquire permits to tunnel under this Highway or to build a bridge over it.
Greed at work!!!

You you don't think they will be able to get over or under the highways you have been living under a rock. The plans are in place just not announced yet.

Greed at Work? I always thought the idea for businesses was to make money. As far as I can tell they will continue until they can't. ITS the AMERICAN way!

No they didn't do it at BV. I agree that it shouldn't be a problem.

They did cross BV at 466A, and 44 is narrower. I should said 466A

I was curious, so I went to look how may open tee times were available for tomorrow (this is Sunday) at all Championship courses.
There were 92 foursome tee times before noon and I quit counting............
Looks like it will be awhile before a lottery system is needed.

I agree, Dave. I was thinking 3 champ courses just based on the number of homes, and about a dozen or so execs as well. Probably another town square, 2 regional rec centers and 2 shopping plazas. And let's not forget the obligatory 176 branches of Citizen's First

Great for the developer. Not so great for the home owner IMHO



When a lot of us bought here it had nothing to do with seeking a profit. Any profit will most likely go to our kids. I have no interest in leaving.

It's nothing but good news that 44 is not the stopping point. The Villages should be connected from top to bottom. It makes us one community as it should be.

With the present drought and the bottling of nearby water , my only concern is where will the water come from ?

Actually The last Baby Boomers will turn 65 in 12 years.

Remember, a lot of the last Boomers will not have pensions like many of us do.

Went for the big ride today and visited Fenney. Beautiful entrance under the oaks and ponds. About 2 tenths of a mile past the beauty looks like the Mohave desert. Oh yes I know the landscaping will grow fast. If you pay close attention kissing lanai's have been perfected along with the above ground eyesore utilities between them. Toured two open houses low end $179 - 200K. Good quality - I didn't see it. Bad quality - I didn't see it. Passes code is what I seen. Not for me- needs much more disclosure of why I would want to be there. I actually think not being connected to The Villages (less hustle and bustle) would be a better sales feature than if it is the same. Why would you want to be there. The few premiere houses (and I said few) that are around the entrance Oaks and ponds were nice.
