The problem is that folks do not know what they are doing. The exit is logical and will happen. Getting beyond the incompetency of the folks who are planners and politicians takes time. Here is some help…..service roads are always allowed to an greeting center and there is an application process for the same which does not change the exit distance, but allows more efficient entry to the service area. Now it will require that signage be put up that the road is a service road and not a public road, and then it is simply a question of local enforcement to restrict its use by the public……oooooopppppps. These private service roads can be found throughout the interstate system. When I visit friends, I use one in another state and they cleverly do not put up signage, and nobody makes a stink. I think rather than waiting for some magical great decider, that it might help if some people knew what other states are doing with service roads to oasis and visitor centers. Now an application for a public road may take years, but a service road should be weeks.

This is the “progress” most of you wanted. Quit blaming the BOCC. You know they are morons who will only work hard at election time. So if you know their incompetent, don’t expect anything different now.
I can’t wait for the Beulah Beltway to bring all the crap (Ensley) to Molino. I’ll gladly deal with it for a few years so my property value shoots up, I can make a bundle, and move to Walnut Hill or Jay from the land my family has been on for almost 100 years. Sad, but inevitable.

Seems the only reason the Escambia BOC(orrupt)C ever gets involved with anything (especially JB) is if there is something for them to gain personally. History shows that if the people in district 1 are against any proposal you can rest assured the BOCC will vote for it. Vote him out

So many negative comments and complaints. Not one person offered an insightful solution. Would’ve could’ve should’ve. The problem is here and it’s now. Instead of complaining why not be a part of the soloution instead of a part of the problem. Navy Federal does stagger shifts every hour on the hour. Somebody named “A” down there said if Navy Federal gets an exit ramp then everyone is going to want an exit ramp. Seriously? How many other places have to plan for this amount of traffic on a daily basis. None in Escambia County, that for sure. How is this a bad idea? There is enough merge space to allow vehicles to merge onto eastbound I-10 and it would alleviate the traffic nightmare on 9 mile road. It’s a good idea and it’s being held up because of a loophole. It’s a common sense approach to making a lot of people happy. Commissioner Bergosh, I wish you luck. I’m starting to think that if you made everyone happy, they wouldn’t have anything to complain about. Come on y’all. Show some support for someone trying to do good and offering solutions.

I think we all suffer together on this one.
And Navy Federal has shifts coming and going 24 hours a day staggered.

I think the BOCC and staff were too busy buying lots in Nature Trail when the insiders found out the Navy Federal was coming to Beulah. Look at the original lot owners out there and decide for yourself!

I have watched Beulah grow from a quiet, farming community to a thriving large suburb. This in its self is a sad venture. With that being said, it has be thought out all wrong. It is completely backwards. The off ramp and four lane should have been built first on Beulah Rd. This would have handled the over crowding of 9 mile rd. I think Bergosh is doing a great job with what he has to work with.

At least he has some insight. I live close to this traffic disaster.
It takes me 20 minutes to get from 97/297 intersection (by my house) to get on I10 exit 5 if I leave between 7-8am. I usually leave for work early or later.
The traffic light timing is just plain crazy, whoever decided the timing for that should be exiled to venezuela. 9 mile traffic gets about 10 seconds to move, maybe 5 cars, the traffic coming off the interstate gets over a minute, probably more.
Whoever is in charge needs to do something about this NOW. Way out of hand.
Navy Federal does need to change work hours, they are putting a burden on the public(far more people than the ones that work there). If I lived in Buelah, I would have been long gone. We have some friends in nature trail, moved in a little over 2 years ago, built their dream home, ready to sell it at a loss. Can’t blame them.
This just absolutely needs to be addressed right now.

Once again, I think that this proves more of a reason for consolidation.

Bergosh Blog is informative. He seems to be enthusiastic and hard working, looking for solutions and thinking out of the box. I wish him well at his term as chairman of BOCC.

A district five blog would be informative. (Silent Steven)

But yes the road situation is odd around here.

Bridges closing on emergency situations in NE, Five year work plans not honored yet idiotic project with beach round abouts.

Get priorities straight.

No to developers and yes to infrastructure. Be a Public Servant not a puppet sent in to line some pockets of developers.
