Nice video Don. Thanks for flying over the new area south 470/Dabney. I guess we won't live in the vast wasteland people say we are in for very long.

Jam-packed video! So much new construction all going on at once. The future of The Villages is so exciting! Thanks Don for another fine segment.

Your overhead view of the Marbella Villas is interesting. Will the paths in place be for carts only? They look to me that they will be used by cars to access the homesites too. And since they appear to be narrow that would mean in no street parking!

Considering there are no plans for any such tunnel (TV does not own that property, and we know that they no longer build MMPs to areas they do not own), that commercial area is not going to be golf cart accessible...

It is Villages property.

Says who? Certainly not Don Wiley...
He only mentions that "The City of Leesburg" is involved... But, to quote the Beach Boys, "Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray It might come true"... |

The dark green is Villages property, light green is not. I flipped the image so it's oriented as in Don's video... ![]() The area being cleared in this pic very much appears to be Villages property. Use where Megisson comes out at 470 for orientation. ![]() |

Regardless, there are ZERO plans in the works for either a tunnel or a bridge to cross SR-270... |

Look at the plots on the Lake County GIS and the property owner has an address that is used by the developer.
The smaller plot between the waste treatment plant and the turnpike exit has a different owner and is the "speculated" site of the apartments and retail. |

Regarding a tunnel, obviously, I was just writing a hopeful speculative post. You must be a lot of fun at parties. |

Just golf carts, at the north end there is an obstruction to stop the cars, the same will happen at the south end. The streets are normal for CYVs, street side parking is typically not done in CYV communities because, yes, the streets are slightly narrower.

This is property owned by The Villages, they also filed the permits for the work going on. I’m digging for the information on what is going in, right now none of my sources are talking and aren’t event willing to drop a hint.
Here’s a screen shot from Landglide.

As far as a tunnel goes, they had the same challenge at Meggison and Warm Springs when they were widening Warm Springs. I have little doubt they will be doing the same thing here, because remember, they have a contract to widen 470 from Chandler to the Sumter County line.
