So dangerous for our community..

The traffic problems and that intersection in particular. The whole road should be widened from 95A to Highway 29. The whole road needs to be paved all the way to 5points. Definitely a traffic light there as well. The commissioners must be making bank because of the hundreds of houses being built in that area but no road improvements in sight. This county is ridiculous! Quintette is a nightmare. The traffic problems and that intersection in particular. The whole road should be widened from 95A to Highway 29.

Quintette is being used by more and more people everyday. Wake up commissioners in both counties!

They are already functionally deficient (meaning they are of old design standards in terms of traffic volume and safety). It will be interesting to see if Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties evenly split the cost of replacements Escambia gets stuck with the majority of the cost (regardless of the benefits to both counties) since all but maybe 300 feet are in Escambia. In my view, this highway segment is far too busy to be a county road in both counties. It was once a state secondary road. Chumuckla and Woodbine south of Five Points, and Quintette Road from Five Points to US 29 (as part of a bypass to a new “Exit 1”, should be a FDOT maintained state road. Regionally significant. Far too much traffic volume to be a local road, especially if a bypass is built. At some point, the Quintette Road bridges over the Escambia River will become structurally deficient.

These roads are completely different--one is a highway that will need to be four-laned in the future to handle traffic safely--the other is a residential neighborhood. No need to connect the two. Perhaps this firm that Escambia has hired will determine that and make these recommendations. WASTE of MONEY and TIME.

This has to be one of the worst paved roads in the county. Mr. Commissioner, how about repaving Quintette from old highway to 29. This has to be one of the worst paved roads in the county.
