The Community Development District 5 Board of Supervisors has decided to remove a speed bump from a busy tunnel in The Villages.
The speed bump will be removed from the entrance of the tunnel at Mariposa Way and Morse Boulevard near the Morse Boulevard bridge.
At the moment, a temporary large triangular-shaped speed bump is in place at the tunnel as water continues to be pumped out of Lake Sumter in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. A divider in the tunnel will remain in place, at least as long as the pumping continues.
CDD 5 is the undisputed champion when it comes to the removal of speed bumps on multi-modal paths in The Villages.
The board has previously ordered the removal of speed bumps at the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter, at the tunnel near Palmer Legends Country Club and the removal of rumble strips at the Belvedere Boulevard tunnel.
