Traffic congestion
 
To- Wildwood commissioners. When will the roads be expanded to ease traffic problems with your unlimited commercial and housing blight’s? Thanks for the 4 or 5 story buildings you have decided to build . Turning into New York here. Follow the money. Try driving on 466A toward 301 at 730am- volume of traffic already a problem .

Glad to hear about the CVS on 466A
 
All this talk about a new CVS coming to 466A. I am happy to hear about it, now that I won’t have to struggle to exit the CVS in Wildwood. Why all the comments against another pharmacy? We have 8 Publix, 7 Walgreens in The Villages! On 466A we have Aldi’s, Publix, and Winn Dixie within a mile of each other. What really concerns me is the amount of residential & commercial construction going on. The traffic and congestion is going to be overwhelming!

Also a target, gas station, and fast food restaurant in the same area. Lots of traffic on 466a

And no Trader Joe's or Costco!

Is the plan for a CVS at Everglades next to the new 7 11 still happening

Couldn't agree with you more. The City of Wildwood Planning Department and City Commissioners are way behind the 8-ball. Their own comprehensive growth plan have most projects starting in 2025 and later. By that time, the city might as well throw up their hands as the growth has already happened. We will continue to see blight and the effects of unplanned growth. And you cant say they didnt have fair warning about The Villages growth, they are the ones who approved it.

There will be a Dunkin at the end of Warm Springs near 301. Can't wait!!!

All State employees and retirees with the State health insurance MUST use CVS for drug prescriptions. We are thankful there will be a new CVS—there are not enough of them. The CVS in WIldwood can barely handle the load of customers.

CVS is usually in Target too. A new Target is being built in Trailwinds on 466a near this proposed CVS on Powell Road. This seems like poor planning to me.

Yay! No more script trips to 466 and Belvedere👏👏👏

Sad isn't it. Especial given the tax revenue accumulated from Villages residents who consume few city resources.

No one "redevelops" a run down 1970's era "downtown" area divided by a major multi-lane road.

Are you sure of your information?
 
I was previously told that a Home Depot was going up there. Home Depot makes more sense given the proximity to Lowe's.

The CVS will be on one of the outlying parcels next to HD.
