Also note in picture number 2 from the OP that there are several more golf courses shown winding through what is known as Southern Oaks Phase 1. Also seen is multi-modal paths with a roundabout and tunnels under 501 and 468. And of course you can't miss the infamous Villages traffic circles on 468 and 501 themselves.
Also interesting is the way Corbin Trail stops abruptly but the land appears open going to the south, like it would continue on to another section of homes... Looking through the agenda there is also another age restricted community planned just south of Buena Vista and Brownwood that would abut the property previously identified as more of the Southern Oaks expansion. This is the same location as was identified as the connector to 468 from Buena Vista. A little digging in the public records and one finds the land is owned by a real estate speculator in south Florida, who I'm sure is just itching to jump into developing an age restricted community adjacent to and competing with The Villages developer (almost sounds like another Fenney play). Also note the all too familiar traffic circle in this development. |

What is wrong with traffic circles (roundabouts)?

Nothing is wrong with them, just a notable feature that stands out with the roadways built here in The Villages, both past and future. A telling feature the designers of the community seem to like to use and not one you see used much elsewhere. My point on calling them out being to note similarities in designs with The Villages and the development being considered south of Buena Vista.

Oshkosh WI has installed round-a-bouts to help move traffic when large numbers of visitors are in town. Until they did that it was grid lock. State of PA is installing round-abouts where there are large traffic backups where signals currently exist. More traffic planners are recognizing their advantages. General public doesn't like them because they hate change and need to learn something new....the uproar in PA was huge. I understand the same happened in Oshkoh but has gone away since the advantages are obvious.
