All of these projects in Beulah/9mile/Hwy29 are late by several years and is only progressing because of Navy Federal. That is just a fact and the way it is. Having said that though, if you ask 1,000 informed people if there should be an interchange to Navy Federal and Interstate 10, 999 would use their common sense and say yes,” We need one now, not 5 or 10 years from now.” We know if this was Dade or Brevard County no questions ask, it would be put in tomorrow.
So why isn’t it being funded and started?
They need to finish projects already started. I saw the traffic on West Nine Mile Road @ 535pm on Aug. 22nd. It looked like an evacuation route from Pine Cone Drive to as far as I could see West in front of Navy Blvd. BOTH DIRECTIONS.
Luckily a power company truck allowed the traffic moving West to turn left onto the Interstate. The light at the Shell Station/I-10/Nine Mile allowed 6 cars through. With 100+ more in line to travel East.
I will be making plans for another route starting TODAY !
I drive through this intersection twice a day and have seen the aftermath of many accidents here. I know people who were injured in a bad accident here at night and I have nearly been hit here several times including yesterday. Just like the Nine-Mile Road widening, this project should have been done years ago. I will be HAPPY to see the traffic light functioning here.
That’s great but why not finish all the other work before starting new projects?
