Ok. So?

Drive by tomorrow or Tuesday and take a look. Problem solved.

Not a problem, I was just asking if someone knew.

Even if it was open to cart traffic I wouldn't go on it. With the removal of the curbing separating cart and car traffic you just know between speeding cars and impatient cart drivers some one will do something stupid. I'll go way of BV MMP.

Wouldn’t they remove it only for a short way at Sunset Park?

Where is a diamond lane? Did you mean the cart lane?

Yes, within the Villages the term "diamond lane" refers to the cart lane at the edge of roads such as Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Morse north of 466.

They picked the busiest time of the year to perform this work.

Parker Morse Island Bridge project to begin

District Property Management will be performing revetment for the island's shoreline below Parker Morse Bridge to prevent erosion. This will involve clearing the area and installing rip-rap around the shoreline. The main area of construction will be stationed at the Sunset Park lookout at the center of the bridge. The park will be closed for the duration of the project. Curbing will be removed between the golf cart lane and automotive lane to allow entry and exit for equipment and construction materials. Construction flagmen will direct traffic when construction vehicles are commuting the bridge. Construction is scheduled to begin on Monday, January 29 and work hours will be 7 AM to 7 PM. We appreciate your patience as we strive to provide the best service possible and ensure the District's assets are preserved for our community. Thank you in advance for your understanding. If you have any questions, please call District Property Management at 352-753-4022.

Thank you for the information!

They always do work at the busiest time of the year.

So.......I don't drive in the diamond lane on Morse Blvd north of 466. That was my point. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear.

I would think only for a short distance but some one will find a way to be to mess it up.

It might have something to do with the amount of traffic on Odell Circle vs Morse north of 466.

So much for the announcement construction will begin January 29th. Late afternoon on the 30th and nothing has begun?
