If you dont like the input from the commissioners, i suggest you check to see which road company and engineering firms donated the MAX to certain concerned commissioners.

I would prefer not to make the changes if this project is handled like 9 Mile Road or the Three Mile Bridge. This area is very congested and we don’t need construction delays.

Still waiting on 9-Mile Rd to be completed. Should have been started and done years ago. Traffic backups now past Navy Federal every day AND from Beulah Rd due to the huge number of new housing in the Beulah area. Please finish this project before starting others!

The diverging diamond is a proven concept and design. There’s nothing confusing when driving thru the intersection…you simply follow the lanes/signs as with any other intersection.

The Benefit is that left turning traffic no longer holds up straight going traffic, as the traffic turning left no longer has to turn in front of the straight going traffic headed the other direction.

This looks like a whole lot of rework that only eliminates the current left turn lanes (one from northbound and one from southbound Pine Forest that provide access to the interstate. On top of that, now add in the confusion this new scheme will bring to the average driver. More details: Where’s the plan to expand and add the lanes to Pine Forest Road especially on the north side of I-10.?

You people keep complaining, yet you keep sending these same characters back into office.

Someone had to vote for these officials; that someone is you.

Stop complaining, you got what you voted for.

They will finish just in time to accommodate the new line of flying cars!

What about the eastbound Davis Highway exit? There is the worst traffic congestion in Pensacola. Forget plaiting pigtails into I-10 until that’s fixed and an exchange is built at 9th Avenue. Then address Pine Forest. I haven’t seen serious congestion at 29, which, with the extended merge land from south to east, needs only a longer merge lane from north to east. Yes, FDOT — have the guts to disturb the CSX.

Building that mare’s nest of criss-crosses would guarantee horrendous traffic jams for years from Avalon Boulevard to the Alabama line. Anderson Columbia could streatch that job out until 2050.

I have never in my life seen such a convoluted nightmare design mess such as this. Was someone drunk or on drugs when they came up with this sad excuse for a plan?
