I hope the widening and repaving does include a wall near 470. It will help turnpike noise. Even new pavement is quieter. I also hope they do a cart bridge at 470. There is villages land beside 470 so a MMP could be build to a cart bridge. I believe Gold Wingnut said he expects they will do a bridge there. But we aren’t “isolated” in Dabney/Lake Denham. It’s only a 20 minute cart ride to Eastport over the Bexley Bridge.

Florida statute 335.17 requires that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) must look at sound abatement as part of any highway projects that will add capacity
“to help protect the public health, welfare and livability” of the community. |

Maybe hard to see in this pic from Google but if you look at the Lake Denham Gatehouse, there is a path right behind the houses but not on 470 that leads to the pike overpass. I'm not sure but this may just be a walking path currently. I could see a cart path leading this way. However, not sure how the cart path would deal with the on/off ramps of the turnpike.

I’m not sure they know, just know they have a potential for the area. Especially near the 470 corridor. Imagine being able to drive from 42 in Lady Lake to Meggison without circles. A need will come one day, and there certainly are enough people already clogging the roadways on Morse and Buena Vista that would consider using it. Another nugget would be the fact that this hypothetical expressway just so happens to go past the Developers retail section off of 470.

Bexely Trail is a 4 lane county road across the Turnpike with cart paths along side. The 470 bridge will need to be replaced as part off the 470 widening. So the possibility is there. The old southern Warm Springs bridge probably needs to be replaced for the widening. Significant Commercial space is reserved at that corner. There's already a cart tunnel there and the power lines jog south making room. Some of these new bridges South of us include pedestrian/bike lanes across the Turnpike bridges. Not that big a leap to make them cart lanes. Last edited by Altavia; 04-14-2024 at 07:18 AM. |

So they need 2-3 times the existing roadway width. The five year budget for this is close to one billion dollars, The Villages was able to have a cart only bridge built to Brownwood and cart paths added to the Bexley Bridge. So I wouldn't rule the possibility out. Last edited by Altavia; 04-14-2024 at 08:14 PM. |

The older Warm Springs Bridge supports are just a few feet from the current roadway so it will definitely be replaced.

This will NEVER happen. There's basically 0% chance. I'm guessing maybe you bought in Dabney or something and are now hoping that it magically becomes not isolated. The best solution to that is to sell and move to an area in The Villages where you're not relying on future developments that will likely never happen to make your home convenient to amenities.

No it doesn't. That bridge on Warm Springs isn't that old and was built with a long enough span to allow for widening that was already in the plan. |

Your guess of me being in Danby is as incorrect as the rest of your assumptions.
The state apparently had a change of heart after the Waterlilly bridge was built to discourage pedestrians. There now are multiple pedestrian and trail bridges being built across the Turnpike South of here. No reason not to do so here in the future. Bexley trail is part of the Sumter County road expansion plan and will eventually be turned over to the county along with all the other new county regional roads. https://www.samanthamerritt.org/road...rowth-in-step/ Central Parkway replaces 470 and there's are cart paths along that road. The original southern bridge on Warm Springs is old and not wide though for expansion. The powerlines parallel to the old bridge were relocated south, maybe to leave room for the old bridge to remain in place while building the new. Last edited by Altavia; 04-16-2024 at 08:22 AM. |

Once McNeil drive is open end to end to golf carts the parts of TV south of the turnpike will be well connected. |
