If you ever was east bound and got off and wanted to turn left you would be thankful
for the light.

Approximately three dozen buildings on Nine mile road ,and Pine forest have been build and in use for quite a long time. (Navy federal, three hotels, Sacred medical, four car washes etc) yet construction on this roads is unfinished. Wow a traffic ligth is on, I guess a milestone for this fiasco on taxpayers money.

The light is needed and so is the completed merge lanes from I10, both east and west bound. Nine Mile Road widening project was originally offered as incentive deal for Navy Federal to move to Pensacola. (I am grateful for the NF selection) Why is it that the four lanes located in front of Navy Fed remain restricted to one lane each way. Looks like Orange Barrel Acme, Roads Inc and FDOT have a “General Conditions Agreement” and an FDOT approved project time extension (13.5 months, September 2021 Completion date). ie there is no incentive to finish prior to that date. You may have to return some of the $$. It really is a bit ridiculous and obvious to most everyone who travels the corridor.

If you are ever coming off east bound I-10 to 9 mile , you know there should have been a light there for years. Both lights are needed to prevent accidents because drivers on 9 mile are usually not that courteous to drivers. I do not like stop lights either, but sometimes you need to use common sense.

Good, hopefully it won’t take another 10 years for them to finish the construction on 9 mile.

Oh boy, yet another stop light within a few hundred feet of another stop light to “help” traffic flow! How about lighting a fire under Roads Inc’s butt to get them working 24hrs a day to finish 9-year road? Stop light, we don’t need no stinking stop light!!
