I’m kind-of scared what all this new developments are going to do to my property taxes.. A lot of us lower income home-owners live out here to avoid the hustle & bustle of Pensacola, only for them to come up here and make things more busier & expensive. I’m not saying we should make it harder for non-locals to move up here, but I’m not-not saying that either!

Seems like such an exorbitant price. Unbelievable.

Again, I would like to say, we need a left hand turn lane at McKenzie and 95-A, heading South. Not only do I worry about getting rear ended, I also worry about when a train is traveling, the gates are down, so people traveling South on 95-A, have to get on the right shoulder, which can be a very dangerous situation, but there is no where else to be. And sometimes, that train is a very long train. People coming around that curve, usually fast, may not have the time to react to stop in time.

I have read these comments and truly believe there are a lot of good ideas. But one stands out greatly, Ward’s comment. Putting a curved lane in at this outrageous price can cause more problems or issues such as drivers injuring their necks to turn around to check traffic or simply overturning heavy trucks. But closing off Quintette Rd between Hwy 29 and Hwy 95A. Plus for safety still install a traffic light. Hopefully this intersection will be better than Hwy 90 and Hwy 99. I have lived here and traveled these roads out here since 1984 and these roads and intersections could be improved and I agree there’s needs to be a turning left on Hwy 95A south bound onto McKenzie because wreckis had occurred many of times there. With everyone’s thoughts of seeing the north end having all of these new neighborhoods, the roads conditions and safety are being overlooked. Keep posting your comments/concerns because one day this commissioner or another one will finally understand our concerns

I agree with B – and would be thrilled to see this happen because I travel 95a daily.
Aligning Quintette is critical and has been needed for years. Adding a stop light for that intersection, with lanes curving in both directions would be the best move for future growth. Experiencing improvements to that area is a good use of my tax dollars. And to the naysayers, I welcome a nice gas station!

Also, please put a left turn lane at McKenzie and 95-A. Coming around that curve going South is so dangerous. I cringe when I have to take 95-A, and have to make that left turn onto McKenzie, cause I live down there. I fear someone is going to rearend me.

That intersection has had no improvements for so long and is in need for upgrade to meet future growth, like all the housing developments in the area. I am not sure this is the best option, and a Circle K would just add to the confusion.
One scenario would be “what if Champion closes. 95A needs upgraded from 29 to Quintette and maybe even farther north because of future development. Quintette needs realignment and upgrade to 29.

This is one of the worst waste of taxpayer money ideas that has been proposed. I use Quintet Road regularly. Curving the road will only increase the accidents and create undue burden on the driver that use the road.

Leave it like it is and spend the money somewhere else that needs it more

Why in the absolute hell does it cost that much for that little bit.
