Mount Dora Faces Backlash Over Animate Fence Route
Objections in Mount Dora rise as state planners propose a limited access route looping much of the city. Residents like Dr. Robert G. Wells and others fear the highway would ruin Sylvan Shores and Lake Gertrude, threatening property values and the area’s character. The plan, described by Board Member William H. Dial as a miniature turnpike, lacks routing explanations and a clear crossing solution for Lake Gertrude, with no timeline for construction.
