Pine Barren Rd. from Breastworks Rd. north to Highway 4 could use a good repaving. This is a major northern route to Northview High School.
I encourage you to attend and voice your concern next time Steven Barry holds a meeting in the North end. He doesn’t get up this way near enough to have a clue.
All up and down W.Hwy 4 is a major issue of the side of the road crumbling to pieces. It’s causing people’s vehicles to leave the road and suffer damage. This is dangerous!
Time and attention needs to be given to West Hwy.4, which is a heavily traveled highway and in my opinion, is the heartbeat of the north end. In reality, it needs to be repaved with extensions to the side for safety asap…long overdue!
You can also report road issues to the County at any time by going online to http://www.myescambia.com, selecting the green “Road issues button”, clicking on the “click here to report a road issue”, and completing the online form which will be received and acted upon by the County Road Department.
Any citizen can report road issues – pot holes, downed traffic signs, non-functioning traffic lights, overgrown vegetation that blocks clear view of an intersection, drainage ditches needing to be cleaned, holding ponds that need to be mowed, etc, etc etc……
I have used the site many times and overwhelmingly have the problem corrected the following business day.
The following link can be used to report “road issues”:

I hope they also noticed the lack of progress at the Molino Rd bridge replacement project. It has sat idle for a month or so, then they worked on it for a day, and now it sits idle again. It’s only a 12-14′ span of bridge and it could have been done in 3 months.
I sure hope they noticed how awful the road dept. has maintained the speed bumps on Williams Ditch Rd. One car ripped it’s fuel line on one of the speed bumps that has a huge hole indention after crossing the bump….On several of them, one has to cross over them in the center of the road to keep from scraping the underside of the vehicle.
you are so right nancy.why dont they fix the busy roads first.hwy 99 was widen and left.its a terrible road and all they do is patch holes.fix whats needs to be fixed before they start new projects. when election was going on they were doing stuff.now thats its over you cant even get them to answer the phone.
Well, I sure hope they noticed how HORRIBLE Hwy 4 and Hwy 99 are! All they do is occasionally fill in potholes that form daily. We need these roads totally resurfaced.
