The Florida Department of Transportation will host a public workshop concerning proposed improvements to Highway 29 from I-10 to Nine and One Half Mile Road. The meeting will be held today from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Northside Apostolic Church, 213 West Nine and One Half Mile Road, Pensacola.

Now, supposing I want to drive at 25 miles per hour during rush hour….
Are you saying I have to pick which of the 3 lanes I’m going to plug up? That’s really a trick question…I’m not going to use the right lane no matter I slow I’m driving.
WHAT WE NEED IS A ON-OFF RAMP ON THE DUMP RD. IN BEULAH AT THE INTERSTATE .WELL CAN WE GET ANY MORE INFO ON THIS PROJECT.
Its taken 20 years to rebuild N Davis and Olive intersection… how long will it take to 6 lane that much of 29? 50 years?
And then it will bottleneck north of 9 1/2 mile road. Also, there will be drainage issues that I hope they will address. What about the businesses that are along Hwy. 29? Some of them do not have much parking space now and if the road moves into parking areas, are they going to pay to help move these businesses?
