need to spend the money on roads NOT sidewalks to nowhere (longleaf dr.)
Add Pot hole:. MEADOWS ROAD. Davisville
30 year old Road.
The North of the county also has plenty of road that haven’t been repaved in a LONG LONG Time. Also Hwy 29North, starting the Red light in Molino has been needing to be repaved for a very long time also. Remember Hwy 29 is also used for vacuation during huricane season.
Last year the county paved Schaag rd that receives little use. It was stated that Schaag was in more need according to their scoring system (aka “who you know deal”). When I look at these list and I don’t see Quintette road even considered, I know I’ll be looking forward to the next election. “Really” Becks lake ahead of much needier roadways. Glad to see narrow Hwy 196 (Barrineau Park east) is finally being considered at the August 3rd county commissioners meeting. The school bus driver stated that she has to get out in the grass when she passes dump trucks or lose her mirrors. I’m sure Quintette rd will come up at the meeting and I guess the response will be it wasn’t as needy as Becks lake road according to the scoring system. Wow!!
Everybody loves to talk about how narrow some of the roads are, but no one talks about the complete disregard of the speed limits on those roads. Those posted signs are NOT the MINIMUM speed, folks. Those signs indicate the maximum speed; slow down, and I GUARANTEE the roads are wide enough!
Hwy 164 is too narrow, bumpy, and dangerous to not be on that list. Hwy 164 is mere inches wider than the vehicles that travel on it daily! Hwy 164 is a hazard in itself. If there is a list of roads that are being considered for resurfacing AND WIDENING, then Hwy 164 desperately needs to be on that list. Just come up here and drive down Hwy 164 in a school bus. Just come up here and pass a school bus on Hwy 164. It’s dangerous. Hwy 164 is known to be too narrow, accidents have happened, and lives are currently at risk for more accidents on Hwy 164.
9 Mile Road is the demarcation line.
You’re welcome.;)
Lol, Steve for the win!
I thank the people who corrected me about where the north end of the county is. I guess working for the road department for over twenty years made me think the way I do. For the most part we always used Hwy 196 as a dividing line where we in the north end turned the work over to the Cantonment office. While I worked in the office, I would get calls from people who would be adamant that they lived in the north end of the county because I didn’t recognize the name of a road, they needed work on. When I ask for a well-known road near them, Brent Lane and W street came up several times. CDP JR it sounds like the description you gave are the political boundaries of district 5 which I agree with, but I will never agree with anyone who says 10 Mile Road and Frank Reeder Road are in the physical north end of Escambia County. By the way, at least I use my real name here.
On Quintet road today and it is one of the worst on the county.
Jim Stanton, Just an FYI.
Ten mile rd and Frank Reeder rd is the dividing line between the north and the south ends of the county.
The north side of each starts the north end all the way to the Alabama line form Atmore to Jay.
Palafox st. starting from the Plaza DeLuna continuing up Hwy 29 all the way to Flomaton Ala. divides East and West of the county.
Have a good evening.
My driveway needs to be paved to!! Lol
We all have terrible roads to drive on throughout
the county and I’m glade they are starting on it
Wherever it is.
How about South Pine Barren Road, Bogia road, and Hwy 164. Narrow roads and bumpy as hell. Each morning and night my alarms go off in my car telling me to take a break because it thinks I’m swerving. When reality is its all the jostling around going down these roads. I pay taxes too!!!
Before they start issuing new contracts they need to come back and fix South Highway 99. It was repaved at the beginning of the year, already has potholes and the edge of the road is crumbling off in places. Also holds water in places causing vehicles to hydroplane. They did an absolute horrible job repaving it. When you contact Roads Inc they say it’s the County’s problem. When you contact the County they say it’s still under contract with Roads inc for 2 years so they have to fix it. Stop issuing contracts to the lowest bidder.
What about HWY 164? That road has been a known hazardous road yet nothing has been done about it.
Keep in mind, due to all of the construction in District 5, Kingsfield Road will be on the list soon. For those who travel it everyday, i’m sure you need a Front-End alignment.
Just saying!!!!!
West Tobias Road and Arena Road off of 97-A needs to be paved. Come on District 5
Escambia County Commissioners! Been waiting for 34 years for them to pave these 2 roads.
“Not one of these roads are actually in North Escambia County”
You are going to need to review a map. Most of them are in the northern half of the county, and all in the area generally called North Escambia.
Not one of these roads are actually in North Escambia County, Hwy 196 comes the closest, but it’s still south of Molino. It should be titled over two dozen roads to be resurfaced in Cantonment and to the south. The county commission and especially Steven Barry don’t even know that Escambia County goes further north than Cantonment, except at tax time. When was the last time Mr. Barry held a meeting anywhere near Century, it’s been a while if ever, I don’t remember any. I know he has been to Walnut Hill and Molino a few times, but don’t remember him coming to Century.
How about Pine Lane Drive off Hwy 97? I have lived on this street for several years and it has needed to be repaved for a long time.
Quintette Rd. PLEASE
I am so glad to see District 5 roads on the list, but that is the Southern end of District. 5 ….How about the real NORTH end of District 5. We are tired of falling in pot holes that all most keeps your car.. Come up and drive these roads. Highway 4 especially.
How’s about enforcing the NO THRU TRUCKS on Beulah Rd. Maybe then you won’t have so much re-paving to do!
Why isn’t Hwy. 164 on this list. Two school bus accidents and several other small vehicles crashes isn’t enough to widen and repave?
How about WIDEN and repave West Roberts.
How about fixing the potholes on Pilgrim Trail created by our “lovely” new solar farm
The whole subdivision in Bristol Park (off CR 97) needs to be done. Many potholes. All they do is patch every couple years!! Come on District 5 – Steven Barry and Escambia County. This SD is 33 years old!!
Quintette needs to be on here, all the way from 29 to 5 pts. New pot holes every day.
West Roberts Rd please
I don’t see hwy 4 or 4A
How about Quintette Rd? It’s awful potholes everywher.
Pretty please don’t forget Quintette Rd.
I am beyond excited that Beulah Road is on this list. The portion north of 1-10 is falling apart. Grateful for any help we can get.
