Default What ever happened to Morse & B.V. resurfacing project?

It seems to have stopped dead. Maybe someone didn't pay the bill? Hmmm, I paid my taxes. Maybe they're working down on the south end and will meet in the middle? They seem to have repaved the parts of Morse south of 466 (and B.V.) that were in decent condition but they seem to have stopped at the worst part of Morse I have seen near Mallory CC which is still a mine field of patches and bumps. The first part got done real fast. Then I noticed the sign has been face down that says "Your taxes at work."

Seriously? I thought Morse and B.V. were supposed to be resurfaced all the way up to CR44! Guess not. The resurfacing stopped about 100yds north of probably the most messed up patched rough area of Morse! They didn't do the Morse bridge either. LOL. Amazing.

Hey Ed F NJ, I found them. They are doing an emergency parking lot job from The Back Of The Sharon to the Veterans Monument. And a beautiful job it is. It really needed it badly! Whatever, they got the place this far they must know what they are doing. They are very organized and polite compared to the contractors back in the Frozen Tundra.

Do you mean the area close to the Morse bridge? I thought "they" would do that when "they" fixed the bridge. I will link you to the persons in charge. BRB.

I noticed that they were repaving those parking lots and wondered by LaGrande Blvd, which is full of potholes and a real mess was not done before a parking lot. I didn't think that the parking lot was that bad. It wasn't perfect, but compared to some of the streets in the historic district it was fine.

They'd done several streets over here, but seemed to have stopped in order to work elsewhere. As I said, LaGrande Blvd is one of the worst streets I've seen in The Villages.

I remember reading in the paper that the rest of Morse Blvd (to 466A) would be paved in November.

Are the parking lot repairs done by the developer who owns the squares? And the street repairs done by the county?

Repaving parking lots?

Or just fresh-coating/dressing/sealing which barely covers cracks.
More aesthetic than anything...makes them look pretty and new with the new stripes.

The Bridgeport at Lake Miona Rec center was done a couple of weeks ago. Definitely was not much more than sealing.....not re-paving.

The parking lots in question are being repaved. Just like Nucky said.

Milling the Parking lot and then Repaving. Doing the Job in the absolutely totally proper manner. This is after all where the Entire Dream Started. They were removing the old asphalt all the way up to the islands in the Parking Lots, a great job not any corners cut at all that I saw.

Squares are not owned by the developer. Owned by the CDDs.

Village Center CDD
Sumter Landing CDD or
Brownwood CDD

As for the street repair..... the person that is asking lives there and should know who owns them. Probably the Town of Lady Lake or Lake County. Also I won't think they would repave til they are finished with what ever construction is planed. (Post Office area)

I am referring to the 100 yards or so on each side of the O'Dell Circle near Mallory CC. It's an area that has been poorly patched at least 3 times in the 2 1/2 years I have been here. They ended just north of that between Stillwater and O'Dell by Mallory. Most of what they DID pave was already in excellent condition. We travel it 3-4 times a day. As for the bridge, I guess they will get to that when they get to that.
