Once Costco opens, I won’t be at the Wawa to get gas and be frustrated. Trying to get back onto 466. There’s one less car to account for.

I assume you’re talking about the proposed I75/466 interchange. That was supposedly a “done deal”
as you noted. Then it wasn’t…

So what is your beef with Kimley-Horn? Is it because they have contracts with the Villages?
I have heard many negative things about this firm and I would like some feedback as to why so many people don’t like them.
Thanks for your response.

If the state builds an exit on I-75 at Rt 466 there will be more traffic to/from The Villages and the intersection with Rt 301 is a mess with the train track and will only get worse.

Big question: is The Villages considering property to the West of Rt 301? Hmm. Nice lake off of Rt 466 just NW of Oxford would make a nice new village!

IMO and this only me. For one the three studies they did on the London bridge. They could have just dumped some riprap and been done with it for cost of first study. Seems like IMO their good and milking out project.
