Spare me the “it’s a state road” whine. Does that mean the county should ignore it? Forget the citizens there? Oh, make the individual take it up with the “TPO”. Right that’s why we elect commissioners, so we can do it ourselves. Sheesh. HOW ABOUT THE COMMISSIONERS TAKE IT UP WITH THE STATE? District 1 Commish, bring it to the board. Board, bring it to the State. Or is that too hard? “Time for change” right Commissioner Stroberger?

I drive a dump truck working the construction area on I-10 in that area and I see it all day long as I am exiting off of that ramp. @me when you get off of I-10 @ the pine forest rd exit it is a no right on red there, the problem is that people dont obey traffic laws and they make a right on red there anyways.

PFR is State Road 297 in that area. Construction projects there would be prioritized through the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) a the Emerald Coast Regional Council. Your concerns about PFR bottleneck should be expressed to the TPO. Roads like Pine Forest Road between I-10 and Nine Mile Road are owned by the State of Florida through FDOT, not Escambia County.

I agree but it's wild lake blvd that needs to be widened an paved. It's a race track on this road. So many trailers going off the road because the roads not wide enough but the county allowed trailer parks. The traffic off the road is utterly ridiculous. Something needs to be done.

Like to see each member sit N of WaWa and watch cars using the middle turning lane for a road!!! Like hiway 97 to Atmore, I avoid these two @Reading Comp

Agree with Harold! There is also a totally forgotten road. Sharon Lane - runs between Detroit Blvd & the light on Pine Forest at the WaWa, People cut through there now to avoid trying to pull out the very dangerous intersect of Detroit & Pine Forest close to the I-10 exit. Sharon Lane has 3 very blind curves & desperately needs resurfacing & lining! Each county commissioner should take a drive down this Forgotten Road! Also for safety reasons it would help if the state would make the exit off I-10 there on Pine Forest a “NO RIGHT ON RED”’ just like it is on I-110 at Cervantes!!
