REGARDING:
” what should we do about the road going to the gravel lakes or even the fish camp, they’re both dead end roads. Should we close them completely,”
Nope.
Reopen the former Dawson Road as platted for that end, extend the Fish camp area to Whirlpool. Or: Add a crossing just shy of first gravel lake where it would allow escapes in cases of derailments and toxic gases further north on Dawson Road.
(I miss Charlie Dawson.)
Or build a bridge across to Dykestown Road.
David for solutions
@David Huie Green so what should we do about the road going to the gravel lakes or even the fish camp, they’re both dead end roads. Should we close them completely, I mean there is only 1 way in and out on both of them roads. I’m sure if they made Dawson Road a dead end road it won’t be the only dead end in Escambia Florida will it
REGARDING:
” Lets close the bridge perminately, make it a dead end road,”
Every location needs more than one exit. Dead ends are called that for a reason.
David for escapes from harm
Half my route to work is construction, barrels, road blocks, and backed up traffic.
I live on Dawson road with 6 other residents. We all live North of the bridge. Lets close the bridge perminately, make it a dead end road, and save the tax payers a whole lot of money.
That is amazing. It makes you wonder how the first bridge held up all those heavy vehicles all those decades.
David for good value
thats so crazy.it cost that much to make papers to close another bridge.if they keep closing bridges all over we not gona have no roadfs open.must be a company that needs a big payout.what do they pay engineers for.thats as bad as the sheriff posting his picture on a billboard.at tax payers cost. why all the sudden the fixing all the bridges at once? should have been done years ago.
