$2 Million Ensley Sidewalk, Drainage Project Completed
October 9, 2012
Escambia County is marking the completion of a $2 million sidewalk and drainage project on Airway Drive in Ensley.
The mile-long project included sidewalk along both sides of Airway Drive, providing the community with a safe walking route connecting Ensley Elementary School and the John R. Jones Athletic Park.
In addition to the sidewalks, the project also included new drainage structures to help alleviate chronic flooding along Airway Drive.
This project was a collaborative effort between the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Escambia/Santa Rosa Community Traffic Safety Team.
The project was funded with $1.3 million in Local Option Sales Tax funds and a $680,000 grant from the Florida Department of Transportation’s Safe Routes to School program.
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the project will be held on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in front of Ensley Elementary School, 501 E. Johnson Avenue, in conjunction with Walk Your Child to School Month.
Airway Drive runs south from Nine Mile Road at the John R. Jones Athletic Park to East Johnson Avenue.
