Hate to See Them Go
 
Once the stop signs come down on CR101, be extra careful exiting the businesses and/or the big church, and when trying to cross at Woodridge on the way to Walmart, etc. by car or street legal cart. Some of the drivers don't seem to realize or care that the speed limit is not 45 like it is on 466. Some of the ones coming the other direction toward 466 are just as bad. Before the tunnel closure, there were lots of close calls, especially at that intersection.:cus:

Received the following email from VCDD this morning:


"Status Update – CR101 Tunnel – 12-21-11

The Tunnel under CR101 will re-open mid-morning on Friday, December 23, 2011. The temporary four-way stop will be removed and the traffic pattern will resume to normal. Thank you for your patience during this project."

I go by this intersection every day on the way back and forth from the Doggie Doo Run Run. Will be nice to not have to stop at this four-way stop. Some cars do go too fast on CR101 but there is also the problem I have seen frequently of more than one golf cart going through on the stop of the lead gof cart. I guess if they are in a group they feel that they have to stay near their fellows.

Tunnel open.
 
Yesterday the tunnel opened. They had a safety officer where the carts used to cross when the tunnel was closed.

Good idea.

Hope he/she stays in place for a while.

I'm so happy the tunnel is open! That 4-way stop always had me a bit skeptical in crossing...especially when I'd seen cars/trucks run the stop-sign!! Then there are the folks as someone above spoke of who (in their carts) would follow another cart ahead of them as if part of a train! Southern Trace parking lot can be like "bumper cars" if folks aren't observant...especially when crossing the "in and out" drive-ways into it!! You have to be watching out where you and the other guy is going at all times!!

Tal725 is a new ID for old Tal. Simply said, The old Tal is the new Tal. The old Tal/new Tal takes his dog Sport to DDRR every day, using CR 101. Now I have to go back to the funny farm. :evil6:

Thanks, barefoot. My computer caught a virus after I tried to collect on a gift for Farmville or Cityville on Facebook. Now I have to be really careful on what I click on or risk crashing my PC again.

Suffice is to say, I had to change my e-mail address and could no longer access Taltarzac on TOTV. My aol account went out with the virus.

Unfortunately, DDRR is closed for Christmas, so I will have to find another place to take him tomorrow.

Merry Christmas though!

The tunnel on CR101 has a roof which looked like it was some kind of corrugated metal-- tin?

I went through it last night on the way back from Publix. Took a detour to check it out from that store.
