Default New nature boardwalk being constructed south of 44

Does anyone know where this is being built? What village and/or street is it supposed to be close to?

Don,

What street is that on? Also, is it accessible where I can drive by the beginning of it?

I am not a huge fan of the way south of 44 neighborhoods are layed out with narrower streets, etc. But, they do have a lot of nature trails and open space which is great

It's not visible from the street as far as I've been able to tell but it's located across the retention pond from the homes on the north side of Jaeson Loop next to Homestead Rec Center.

In the below picture you can see the path ending above the retention pond and the spit of land heading to the NE into the wetlands, that's the path.

Because of the heavy tree growth I can't get a good look at things with the drone.

Goldwingnut or anyone else, please be so kind as to provide the name of the rec center shown in the photo as that will help me put this into perspective where it is at, thank you very much

We love the southern areas, with walking paths, but when that large truck come around the corner, you really need to hug the curb.

The tight roads and extremely narrow gate pass throughs have made driving/riding South of 44 streets dangerous as hell especially during construction hours. In Chitty, construction trailers knock the gate arm or worse, the control box pedestal off weekly! The streets are just too tight. I swear that if the developer could shrink them to golf car path width they would.

The developer doesn't decide the roadway width, these are controlled and mandated by Sumter County.
