Just saying: When in the name of common sense is Escambia County Florida going to improve the road from Century to Northview high school? My goodness this road is terrible. It is too narrow for the school bus traffic and big trucks passing not to mention that dangerous curved bridge at the bottom of a hill. The darn road has been neglected for way too long. I hope a deadly accident with kids driving home from a game make the deciding factor. Come on commissioners get in the game.
