    I would like to know when Haupert Lane is going to get paved. The dust from everyone going fast is getting all over everything plus everytime it rains it washes out the ditches more and more. Something needs to be done.

    That’s nice and great that something is being done for Molino, but what about Nicholson Road (which is less than 1/4 mile unpraved) going to be praved?? When Mr. Rubb wanted the north portion of Nicholson Road praved, it was praved I beleive when county Commissioner Wilson Robinson was over District 5. Why are the other 5 families living on Nicholson Road having to drive on a dirt road when been promised it would be praved??

    Lets be fair, use my tax dolloar to complete the paving of Nicholson Road.

    Highway 99, north and south is in extremely bad shape. I wrote to Kevin White several months back and didn’t get any reply back. I would like to see some of my tax dollars spent on improving roads on the north end–I see repavement projects everywhere else.

    That’s nice, but Barrineau Park Road is in worse need of repaving and widening. When is it scheduled to be done? Anyone else out there that feels these funds would be better spent to widen and repave Barrineau Park Road to the West of Hwy 29 as well as widening and repaving Jack’s Branch Road? Please share your concerns here and with our County Commissioner Kevin White via e-mail. Kevin White (district5@co.escambia.fl.us)

    Barrineau Park School Road has so many places encroaching the pavement at the sides of the road that have been damaged by the high number of water leaks from the Molino Utilities lines. A slightly different subject, but could be an additional story, the waterline along Barrineau Park School Road has so many repairs to it this year alone that it is in great need of being replaced, this would reduce the number of times Molino Utilities digs into the side of the road leaving damage. While they are at it they should install fire hydrants (at least 1 or 2 along this road).

    Thats great. When is Hwy 99 from Alabama to Hwy 97 going to be resurfaced? Hwy 99 is in rough shape. It has more bumps and ruts than a dirt road.
