With the explosive growth in the northwest portion of Escambia County, the need for safe pedestrian walking facilities has become a paramount priority for the three elected officials that represent this area in the State House of Representatives, on the Board of County Commissioners and on the Escambia County School Board, respectively.
In addition to this, the elected officials will discuss their joint desire to realize increased pedestrian access and connectivity in this growing community via expanded sidewalk construction on the north and south side of Nine Mile Road to facilitate this.
Representative Salzman said, “This will be my main priority, garnering funding for this overpass, as I enter the next legislative session in January.”
Commissioner Bergosh stated, “I am interested in dramatically expanding the amount of sidewalks in my growing district and will be bringing a plan to do this to this press conference on Monday, including a commitment of up to $500,000 in D1 lost funding to support the effort."
School Board Member Adams said, “I look forward to making this school and this surrounding area a model for safe walking conditions for our students by working closely with my elected counterparts on the County Commission and in the State House—together we can make this much better for everyone.”
