It’s real simple, if you live north of Highway 98, you get ignored.
I bet another traffic light through there would help.
Henry,
Thank you for that insight and agreed on those taxpayer dollars.
The county employs engineers capable of tackling so many issues, but maintaining anything they accomplish is the problem.
Too bad we’ll likely have to wait until more out-of-towners arrive before a collection of recurrent issues are properly addressed in “less desirable” areas.
re:Wizard. It use to happen in Gulf Breeze regularly but after Hurricane Ivan, FEMA allocated 20+ Million to Gulf Breeze to rebuild/repair their side of the Pensacola Bay fishing bridge and then they had those funds reallocated to use for a socialist infrastructure drainage project that probably should have been paid for with property tax money by the people who live there. Eventually FEMA allocated another 17 Million Dollars for Gulf Breeze to use in tearing down the fishing bridge. I never heard that they ran out of FEMA money so they must have had some left over?
well at least the corn and cotton don´t need to be watered this week.
Funny how this doesn’t happen in say, Gulf Breeze…
Most resources simply go to certain areas with potential revenue streams. That is a fact. Does not mean “they” can neglect everything else.
Too bad the county can’t do anything about that…
Wait, maybe they could…
Just poor engineering at that intersection. Any future development would be nuts to invest there until the county fixed this issue. Period.
looks like sales tax in escambia county is going up to 8% very quick this money is needed very fast drainage needs to be installed all Accross escambia county and with all the people moving here it’s way past time . needs to go in front of the board be approved – a.s.a.p . not only will it improve our daily lives but make way for the millions and millions of people flocking to this area. ok guys you were voted in so let’s get to work get the 8% sales tax approved put people to work gain way for thousands of homes to be built in century and flomaton Alabama join forces. ( let’s do this )
Tanker has no hoses connected, so niether…appears stranded and stuck until water recedes or dispatch requires him to leave.
Is that tanker putting gas in the water tanks or water in the gas tanks ?
