They should finish the current 4 lane of 9 mile road project, and consider roundabouts instead of the more expensive flyover at this point. The flyover proposed seems to be a quick fix and traffic could still bottleneck at I-10 East. I suggest taking more time and getting it right in conjunction with the Beulah Road Project. A back exit from the Navy Federal Campus should be considered too. And what is going to happen with the adjacent helicopter field going forward. That needs to be included with any projections and planning. Also how will the proposed flyover affect the new development of shops, offices and restaurants to be built on the East side of Nature Trail Subdivision on South side of 9 Mi Rd. A study needs to be done including all options and future growth. Big decision. slow down. The proposed flyover is premature at this point.

Think how the people felt when I110 was built over them. They must have become used to it. Growth is over rated. The more I look at what goes on.. the more I appreciate our little dramas up here.

It’s not like traffic is GOING to be bad, its bad NOW. Daily traffic during shift changes backs up all the way from the entrance to beyond the I-10 overpass.

How much more for the bypass that is wanted for the west side going north??? 20 years ago would have been a good time to weigh this in. 9 mile in the mist of being widen and the county fixing to ad 75-100 million more to the coffins of politicians.

The problem is that Escambia voters keep voting in anti jobs and anti consolidation county commissioners. Consolidation saved Indianapolis and it has worked well in other cities, but the powers to be here will do everything to lie and bamboozle people against it. Why? Because when a city and county consolidate, that means someone has to step down. Get it? I remember the talks of extending 110 up to 65 and that would have been great for commerce.

Are you kidding? And why wasn’t any of this done in conjunction with the Navy Fed development rather than waiting to become a major problem first? Zero planning. 4-6 YEARS to complete?
