@ William 2. Take a count on how many dead end roads and cul de sacs are in Century alone, and none seem to adversely effect emergency service or access. Most subdivisions now are designed with cul de sacs. I will give you that you have some valid questions, but if there are no adverse effects from this road being closed, leave it closed and save that money.

Just wondering if it would be less cost to install large drainage pipes instead of bridging the roadway.

M in Bratt, would not having a bridge affect emergency services to residents in the area? Would it hinder evacuation in the event of an emergency? I can think of more reasons to rebuild the structure than not having it at all.

REGARDING:
“You are assuming that infrastructure in a third world country is in worse shape than Century.”

Depending on the country and location within it, they tend to be. Many have no electricity or only for short periods, no paved roads or plumbing, phone service, internet service, TV, newspaper, library, NO DOLLAR STORE!!

Oh, and few or poor bridges.

What would be wrong with tearing the old bridge down, and leaving it a dead end road? People still have access from the other end and have been using it for a year and a half. Just because there was a bridge built there doesn’t mean one is necessary

When candidates are running for County Comissioner they sure come to Century for their vote, when Century needs help where are they.

@just listening

Maybe if the ECSO would send their traffic unit up to Jefferson Ave. they could do some work and slow them down. MAYBE EVEN WRITE A TICKET, HAHAHAHAHA

I think we should just give Century to Alabama. When’s the last time anyone heard about something going right in Century? In addition, it’s a horrible site for anyone entering the state of Florida from that direction. The place is falling apart….It will never be anything more than it is now……
