Escambia County Set To Move Forward On Robinson Street Paving In Cantonment
February 1, 2026
Escambia County is set to pave the dirt portion of Robinson Street in Cantonment.
On Thursday, the Escambia County Commission is set to consider a design and engineering services contract for $214,000 to Panhandle Engineering.
The design will include roadway realignment and drainage system on the unpaved portion of Robinson Street. The existing dirt road begins at Taylor Street and continues about three-quarters of a mile.
The county intends to acquire 50 feet of right of way to construct a 24-foot wide roadway with a drainage system. The north end will have a 90-foot diameter asphalt turnaround within a 100-foot diameter right of way. Realignment of Robinson Street at Taylor Street is proposed to align the roadway with the current paved portion of Robinson Street.
The design and engineering services for the project should be complete within one year, and there’s not yet a timetable for construction.
Funding of the project will come from Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) funds.

If your dirt road has not been paved it means that the county does not have the acquired ROW from the property owners to install drainage and pave it. It only takes one resident to say no I will not give up my property to have the road paved. If you will call engineering they can tell you where your dirt road is on the list for paving.
I live in Cottage Hill on Cedar Point Rd. My road is still a red clay dirt road which is off of Cedar Tree Lane – one half of this road is paved, and the other half is still dirt. The half that’s paved is from 95A and stops at my road which is convenient for the new housing subdivision they built and all the new houses they are building. I have lived on my property since 2001 and own my house so I’m not moving. Explain to me why Cedar Park can be paved (which is the road before mine) but my road gets no pavement and then Cedar Tree Lane gets half pavement. Just keep building all those new houses for people to buy in our district who will keep putting you back in office Mr. County Commissioner because I didn’t vote for you last time and will not vote for you again this next time either.
I thought the Board of County Commissioners was going to try and pave all the dirt roads in the Northern County. What about paving the other side of Tobias Road also. One side is paved that the Roy Hyatt Environmental Center is located. We had gotten a letter August 2023 from the Dirt Road Paving Program about moving forward to pave Tobias Road. Nothing has been done the road is still dirt and they come out once a month to grade it.
It’s about time. The area North of Muscogee Rd. has been neglected for years.
I’m glad that the owners in this area finally realized that to give up a part of land for your improvement is the right choice.
I smell a housing development in the near future.
