I dont care who did what ,but the crew that did hwy 97 is a bunch of NON ROAD PAVING CLOWNS ,,There is no telling how much money was wasted on that project they paved the North end 4 times and every time put it down in layers and painted lines ,then a week later guess what they do it again ,

REGARDING:
“Can someone in the DOT just say oops, and start the work to fix this. That would be a start”

Knowing why it failed so it won’t be built to fail again IS a start.

We guess as to why it failed, but we may be wrong. Thus, our solutions wouldn’t fix the problem but identifying the real problem WOULD allow them to fix the problem.

David for flawless engineering and construction
and long-lasting roads

What is our representatives name, Kevin Dolittle, or maybe Donothing. Where is his involvement, I can’t get a response! Anybody else have any luck?

When they paved this road a few years ago, they put down a pretty think rock base to help with drainage I think was their reasoning. But the pavement over he top is now wearing thin from traffic, and now the rock wars start. The base was rather large rock as I remember. Can someone in the DOT just say oops, and start the work to fix this. That would be a start.

Over several years, I have had to have my windsheild replaced. I have one now that must be replaced. However, my Florida insurance has always paid 100% and my insurance never increased because of this type of claim.
someone recently told me that one per year is the limit for insurance to replace at no deductible, but I am don’t really know if that is correct or not.

As for as the Alabama comment, Florida residents work in Alabama. Where a person lives or works should not be the issue. All residents cross state lines, are we be charged for this?

I was just traveling back to my parents house from Century to Bogia and while I was driving a car past me and the next thing I heard was like a balloon popped in the back seat where my 2 yr. old son was sitting and I pulled over to discover that my rear quarter window was busted…Now I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to afford to fix it. I think this is ridiculous and it could have injured my son if it would have shattered onto him. FDOT needs to fix this problem asap!

One way we could have more revenue is to make all the alabama cars
that use our roads every single day to come to work our jobs here in
pensacola buy a license plate HERE in Florida.

DUH!

Maybe our new FL governor can ask Barry Soetoro, opps, I mean Obama for some bailout money to fix 29 with. Or better yet, have Robbert Gibbs fix the highway 

REGARDING:
“see for themselves what the road looks like on the shoulders(where it is really bad).”

I can’t swear to it–in part because I don’t swear, of course–but suspect what you are seeing on the shoulders is the gravel they swept off the road. There’s a sizable amount. It’s safer there than under the treads of your tires.

David glad she wasn’t cited
