Residents of a fast-growing pocket of Seminole County just north of Lake Jesup fear a proposal by regional transportation officials to build an elevated toll road connecting State Road 417 and the Orlando Sanford International Airport will split their neighborhoods, destroy conservation areas and bring more noise and traffic. 'I understand the growth of this area, and I understand the need,' said Ed Pauly, a resident of Kensington Reserve, one of several new neighborhoods near the airport. 'But I would think that this would bring in a lot more noise, a lot more traffic, and it would upset the natural area between our neighborhoods.
