District 1 Commissioner Jeff Bergosh and Escambia County staff will host a joint meeting to discuss the Beulah Master Plan and Frank Reeder Road improvements on Thursday at 6 p.m. at Beulah Middle School, 6001 West Nine Mile Road.

This joint meeting will showcase the Frank Reeder Road design improvements and findings from previous Beulah Master Plan public outreach efforts.

    Well that was kind of interesting and kind of useless.
    The first part was about the long term vision for Beulah over the next 20+ years. (yawn)
    The second part was about the intersection of Beulah Rd & Frank Reeder Rd. They have plans for turn lanes but no plan for a light. We need both and we need them 5 years ago.
    The other problem for after they fix the intersection of Beulah Rd & Frank Reeder, with either improvement or both, is that 7am traffic is going to end up backing up from 9 Mile Rd all the way to Frank Reeder.
    There is a lot that needs improved by the County, the State and DOT with the I-10 Interchange, Beulah Rd, Frank Reeder and 9 Mile Rd. It all needs to happen 5 years ago. It looks like those of us who use these routes on the daily are going to be screwed for the next 5 to 10 years IMO.
    Some audience members were hating on Jeff Bergosh because he isn’t acting like an authoritarian over lord, waving his hands and magically just fixing everything the way the audience members would have done it. Government doesn’t work that way. It is disorganized, messy and slow.

    @John, I would say that they are stuck in quicksand and trying to dig out of a boondoggle! Nothing to tie a rope to to pull themselves out
