It is a State Road now that our last Commissioner decided to trade the State for a piece of road over in Perdido Key. I guess this is throw away money that D.O.T. Has to play with. I don’t understand how 4.4 million can be just thrown away when they are saying that in two years, that the Beulah Beltway should begin. I agree that because of all the large truck traffic, Beulah Road is starting to fall apart but I can’t see that much money being spent for a bandaid until the big project begins.

I know when it comes to roads, long term planning isn't something Escambia County has a history of doing very well but along with the spur the intersection of Frank Reeder and Beulah Rd absolutely needs improvements and if we are looking at 1 1/2 of construction traffic on Beulah Rd then we should probably have a new road cutting through OLF-8 from 9 Mile to Frank Reeder Rd with a light and we absolutely need alight at Rebel Rd and 9 Mile. Really. Just do it.
