Sales Tax Funds Paves 2 North Escambia Dirt Roads
April 25, 2011
Crews from Roads, Inc. have almost completed a paving project on Pelt and Seals road in Walnut Hill.
The $310,457.25 project was funded with Local Option Sales Tax monies.
Pelt Road is about a mile in length between Highway 97 and Pine Forest Road in Walnut Hill. Seals Road is a dead end dirt road that runs about a half mile north off Pelt Road. The project includes paving the existing dirt road, removing and replacing existing culverts, driveway replacements and signage.

come to think of it, it is called County Road 99, so maybe there IS hope.
you are absolutely right other than the thought that 99 is a county maintained road
there are roads which are the responsibility of the state, others which are the responsibility of the county, others which are the responsibility of the cities.
David going up and down 99 every day
PLEASE add 99 S & N to the want, need, desperate list. These roads are in terrible condition and long overdue to be repaved. I’m not sure if Mr. White even knows where they are but maybe one day he could take a drive on them and see what condtion they are in. They really need to be on the pave list.
Well I know that Enon School Rd as been signed over and that has a nursing Home on that road.
Pineville road should have been paved a long time ago. I cannot understand why people will not give easements when it makes it easier for them to get to their property and also increases the value of the property. This is just plain “dumb”
Let’s get Pineville road next Kevin or you may not be our commissioner next round.
To John Q….LaFloresta and one other woman on the south end will not agree to give easement….
The reason Pineville is not paved is because the county does not have adequate right of way and the La Floresta is not willing to donate. That is the issue with the majority of the roads that still are not paved.
A meeting was held in 1996 with the community to discuss paving Pineville Road. 15 yrs. later…….still no progress with getting it paved…
Amen on paving Pineville or at least from the church to the last houses south, then out the Phillips Rd. This will give everyone an option to travel a paved road to leave the boondocks and reach civilization.
good luck you want your dirt road paved. then you need to know someone on the dirt road commitee or be one of the good buddys. philliphsville road was to be paved back in 06. pelt road was brought up in 06. read between the lines.my road has been on the listy for 12 to 15 years.
how about using some of that money to finish paving the rest of Cedar Tree Lane since the dummies in the county only paved half of it…Come on Kevin do something for a change
100% AGREE WITH THE PAVING OF PINEVILLE ROAD!!!! YEP, WE PAY TAXES, TOO!!!!
AS FAR AS SALES TAX FUND HELPING TO PAVE THE ROAD, I WAS TOLD BACK IN THE 70′S THAT 1 PENNY FROM EVERY GALLON OF GAS BOUGHT IN ESC. COUNTY WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE ROADS. AAAANNNNNNDDDD WHERE IS THE LOTTERY MONEY GOING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE GONE TO ROADS AND SCHOOLS??
i had to go somewhere this morning , and in the process, needed to see out my back window…had to turn on the rear windshield wipers and wash the back glass…only to find it made a mudpie!!!…hello….what about pineville rd!!! we need help out here too…cant go outside because of all the blooming dust from the road!!!
How about paving the Pineville Road and some of the roads off of it. It is our Tax dollars too. before you start re-paving roads finish the dirt roads.
Now how about re-paving some of the old road that are in bad shape. You can start with “Stout Road”!! it is less than a mile long and near the Roads Inc construction yard, so they want have far to drive to the work site. With the heavy garbage trucks on the roads, they need to use some good heavy-duty asphalt that will withstand the traffic. Come on Commissioner White get started with the repaving projects in your district!!
