Escambia County invites the community to provide input on two proposed roadway concepts as part of the South Navy Boulevard Improvement Plan. This one-mile corridor, stretching from Barrancas Avenue to the Sam A. Lovelace Bridge, serves as a key gateway to NAS Pensacola and supports nearby neighborhoods and businesses.
Commuters and residents who live and work in this region and drive this corridor are encouraged to help shape the future of South Navy Boulevard by providing feedback at a public workshop with the project team Wednesday, May 14 from 5-7 p.m. at the Lexington Terrace Community Center, located at 700 S. Old Corry Field Road. Please note: there will be no formal presentation at this event.
The South Navy Boulevard Improvement Plan aims to enhance safety, mobility, and visual appeal along the corridor, including improvements in lighting, landscaping, and overall roadway design. Following a comprehensive assessment of existing conditions, the project team has developed two draft concepts and is now seeking community feedback to help guide the final direction.
“South Navy Boulevard has been a cornerstone of our community and a vital connection to NAS Pensacola for many years,” Escambia County District 2 Commissioner and Chairman Mike Kohler said. “We’ve been working hard on this project and now everyone has the opportunity to weigh in on how we plan to make this corridor safer, more welcoming, and more functional for all. Help us shape the future of South Navy Boulevard into a space that truly reflects the needs of our community.”
Scheduled to run through August 2025, this project will provide a framework for future improvements that will benefit military personnel, residents, and visitors alike. For more details or to get involved, please visit SouthNavyBlvd.com.
