One additional point to consider is the eventual (and torrential) growth patterns we'll see to the North (Villages of Lakewood Ranch), to the South (Clark Rd) and to the East (Hi Hat Ranch, etc.) These will put pressure on drivers East of the highway to seek ways of moving north and south. The County might be better off to develop roads like Iona sooner rather than later, rather than look to create corridors that impact existing built-out communities.Lake Sarasota Community Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133398113901462278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28263953.post-52540970031802948582014-03-14T12:50:08.431-04:002014-03-14T12:50:08.431-04:00Thank you for keeping everyone updated on the vari...Thank you for keeping everyone updated on the various projects. As someone who lives on Mauna Loa, I am not very concerned about the Spine Road connection. There is already a roundabout path between Clark and Fruitville through Lake Sarasota and the golf course, and there are already three north/south routes between Clark and University via 75, Cattlemen, and Honore which are more direct with higher speed limits. Sure, an additional route may add a few cars into the mix, but the imminent commercial and residential developments will well overshadow anyone coming through as a north/south route. I'd argue that having Spine Rd. completed north to Fruitville would allow more traffic to/from these developments to have another way in/out and actually ease the load on our main intersection. I do think it is wise for the County to proceed cautiously in either case, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
