It seems a stretch that does not need work always ends up on the list.
Why is Hwy 29 being repaved? It is in good shape.
There are many other roads in North Escambia that need it more!
Pave the shoulders of Hwy 99? Really? What about the rest of it? Come on Steven Barry show us you can do better than that! Show us you know District 5 extends further north than Muscogee Rd.!
Yes there are families and people that live in the North End of the County and pay lots of salaries for the county…it is about time…hello…we need this things done soon in the North End of the County…
“Gravel Lake Road — bridge replacement over over Pritchett Mill ”
In the mean time, just replacing the planks would be much appreciated and low cost.
