It absolutely is but companies like this will never come out with their agenda unless they can benefit in social credit for it. The military isn’t a group backed by the outrage mob in this country so they just do it and lie about the reasoning…..then hide behind meaningless theater to fool people. Disney policy and actions separate from how they like to present themselves all the time.If they're making it four lanes, it seems like the turn into the shades would require a traffic light given the volume (and expected volumes) of traffic in that area, which would easily establish a light-protected cross-walk.
Just seems like a move to prevent SoG from accessing Poly amenities and the monorail more than anything.
I highly doubt their decision to widen a two-lane road to four-lanes is to appease the "outrage mob"It absolutely is but companies like this will never come out with their agenda unless they can benefit in social credit for it.

Does the little shuttle no longer run at all? a tight shuttle loop seems like a reasonable alternative here.
We'd walk to the TTC at times.. but I don't think I'd ever want to walk much further than that.
talking about the big golf cartThe little shuttle , you mean the golf cart (Shady Shuttle) or the dedicated bus service? Theres hourly bus service to Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios hourly and currently every 20 minutes to the TTC but the bus only holds 30-33 max They say they will be increasing the number of TTC busses. It'll be painful with ECVs.

Previously the golf cart would only take you to the edge of Shades property (the cross walk) no further.talking about the big golf cart
Hopefully that is part of the overall plan. Of course, with construction of a four lane road that would be a while.And SoG is now garbage.
Holy hell this is a slap in the face. That walkway is HEAVILY used. If they cared, they would build a pedestrian bridge. Bad move Disney, bad move.
I agree, It Is A Lost Benefit, where I disagree is that walkway is a major benefit due to its convenience and usage.We've stayed at Shades of Green multiple times. The walk to Polynesian is just a few minutes and has saved a lot of time vs waiting for a bus. And the walkway is heavily used. This is a loss that will result in more time to get to monorail/Poly/MK. Not a major loss, but definitely a lost benefit.
Some may compare the SoG shuttle to a golf cart but from personal experience it is outstanding, the vehicle operators top notch and the service easily compares with the best of any Disney bus service.The little shuttle , you mean the golf cart (Shady Shuttle) or the dedicated bus service?

What Disney SHOULD DO??Facts: "In 2018, about 7% of U.S. adults were veterans, down from 18% in 1980, according to the Census Bureau. This drop coincides with decreases in active-duty personnel. Over the past half-century, the number of people on active duty has dropped significantly, from 3.5 million in 1968, during the military draft era, to about 1.4 million (or less than 1% of all U.S. adults) in today’s all-volunteer force. The draft ended in 1973."
With so few people having the backbone and intestinal fortitude to put on a uniform of the United States to put their lives on the line Disney should increase what perks are available for them not conjure up ways to isolate them and reduce what few perks they have.
