It would also be VERY benficial for the road dept. to repave Hwy 99, as this road saves the residents and visitors from Pensacola much time and miles visiting Bratt Elementary and Northview High School. If you take Hwy.97 to Hwy.4, you are technically going way out of the way to get to the same place that Hwy. 99 takes you in less time. PLEASE...widen and repave this road, it is desperately needed, especially for the school bus drivers. ALSO...I definately agree with bwayne above, about the railroad situation. It gets really frustrating and is just plain rediculous. If this were in Pensacola, it would have been corrected a long time ago. The northend residents pay the same taxes as those living within the city limits and deserve just as much consideration and respect to existing long term problems. Thank you This is a good thing, but their is much work yet to be done up on the northend.

They continue to ignore the problem of that train impeding traffic for hours during the most heavily trafficked times and successfully cutting the artery to progress into and out of Pensacola. They are placing a bandage on something that needs major surgery.
