Default The Villages Dropped The Ball

The developer has really dropped the ball at the intersection of Morse Blvd and SR44. This intersection and south of Morse Blvd towards the new Ty Villas has to be the most unattractive intersection in the city. No trees, no palms, no landscaping...just overgrown weeds on both sides, including The Villages Grown Farm. Why was this entry point left untouched south of the intersection?

Because it is not an entry point. It is a corner of TV, boarded by roads with no access to said roads.

They may still have plans for the area, they're digging up along 44 near the Village Grown. I think the power lines are the biggest problem as there is no way to hide them or even make them blend in.

Lol...You probably ought to drive down there. It is an intersection much like 441/Morse; 466/Morse; and 446A/Morse. Each of which have landscaping on all four corners and in the medians. I am not talking about an entry point into a Village, it is an entry point into The Villages being the first major intersection coming from Leesburg.

I did. They said it will remain that way because the developments south of 44 "were going to be different." However, go one mile south to Warm Springs Rd and Morse Blvd, the palms and landscaping starts back up.

It could be but the OP couldn’t pass up a chance to rail on The Developer for their inactions without knowing all the facts.

The section of Morse Blvd south of 44 has a higher speed limit, I think it is 45, and there are no street lights until you get to the roundabout at Warm Springs. It is definitely a road that is not typical of one that is inside The Villages.

Not all property down there is “the Villages”. You have entry into a trailer park as well as a church. I think the corner near Villages Grown is for sale as commercial property (or it was last year) so they may be waiting for someone else to improve that side of the corner???

I've actually talked to the state roads division, and they are doing the full study of route 44. I don't know what that entails but it's really funny that you're complaining about one intersection out of a thousand. I'm pretty sure when it gets bought and paid for by someone we'll either see some stores at those intersection or some homes with landscaping. Not everything in this world can be perfect and there are certainly parts of the villages that I can't stand especially route 441 with all the development of stores and the traffic

If I remember right, the Villages don't own that intersection and it is maintained by the state or county.
