They sure are putting a lot of big box stores in that area. Traffic is getting less than pleasant now. Once this store, Home Depot and all the apartments are completed it'll be a real mess. Just hoping Walmart doesn't decide to put a Superstore in. lol

Being able to Access this area via golf cart would definitely help the traffic situation.

Would be interesting to know where the money is going from the land that the villages could not develop because they wanted to remove too many trees according to the Wingnut. It would help with traffic on 466A if golfcarts could access that area. Why can't that be done?

Every time I'm by Circle K by Winn Dixie..............I see a golf cart cross 466a.

I'm not sure if the local coppers care.

If you cruise through the houses in That development, you will see golfcarts in some of the garages.

Saw the same today non street legal crossing at light today. It should be the norm.

Good to know, but irrelevant.................I see the carts driving North across 466a from TV into TW development.

I remember the times when people were complaining because all the big box stores were on 441 and they had to drive all the way up there. And those that lived in the Spanish Springs area were complaining about all those between 466 and 466A were creating so much traffic and congestion. Now I guess it will be our turn when all those below 44 will be coming to 466A.

Maybe the carts you see are not villagers driving into that development but people who live there returning to their homes. I don't see carts parked at Lowes or Publix parking lot when I go there to shop.

You can't have one without the other. It is a tradeoff that is a net positive. A couple minutes more is much less than the time it takes to go from Brownwood to Lady Lake or to the stores on 466.

I am curious though on what TV would have done with the property if they had been able to develop it. Would we have these same big box stores? I suppose we will never know.

Either way the increase in traffic was inevitable.

It just easier for me to jump on the turnpike and fly down to Clermont for the few times I need to get to a big box store. (And Costco will soon be there as well).

For those below 44 I say "hallelujah"!!

For those concerned about traffic, the road to over crowding and traffic jams has long since been paved by T V. Wildwood is not T V and does not seem to be able to keep up with T V visions. For instance, the 301 / 44 intersection headed north and the fun is only beginning. 301 will be a royal mess for the next, what, 3-4 years based on start date for expansion and the pace they are at with fixing one single corner side walk.

The only negative I see in Target being at SMD is NO CART access like up North; however, not surprising since the vision of cart accessible existence seems to be fading with every 8k homes they build toward the South.

Most likely people living in the in all the homes and apartments. That area is not owned by the T V. It would be nice if the backside of Lowes had a cart path but... nope.
