I like the “Blue Angel Bay Way”. The Blue Angels represent the Pensacola area, and they do so much for our community.

The proposed “Pensacola-Chappie-James-Beall-Memorial-Veterans-Blue-Angel-Deluna-Three-Mile-Paradise-Bay-Bridge” was turned down because the name was longer than the bridge.

It’s always been referred to as “The 3Mile” that’s what people know that should be the name!!!!

First, why are we taking away the honor given to Mr. Beall? I am not family to him nor do I understand the sense of need to rename. Does an updated bridge equate to a new honoree? IF the Committee decides a new name is required, and remove the honor from Mr. Beall, then create a separate memorial to him elsewhere.
Second, let’s find another way to honor General James. With his aviation honors, I offer these suggestions: a memorial at NAS Pensacola, add his name to Pensacola International Airport, or create a memorial to him in the main entrance our airport.
Finally, IF the Committee decides a new bridge requires a new name, consider using this opportunity to physically and emotionally connect our two communities. I previously suggested Pensacola Breeze Way or Pensacola Breeze Parkway. Regardless of the bridge name, we should also consider naming the park(s) planned at the green area on the landing on the Gulf Breeze/each side, creating memorial(s) there with signage at the end of the bridge denoting the recognition and access for the same.

U.S. Heros Three mile bridge is the perfect name for it. It puts all our hero’s in it and it satisfies all three mile people.. So what’s the problem.

I vote for the “James” bridge name. Why not honor someone who deserves it for serving his country. What did some of the other people, who have streets named after them, do so honorably to deserve it? Did ALL of them serve their country. Do what is right, for a change, and honor this man.
