Highlights from March 13 BOCC Meeting

Chumuckla Highway Widening

This project is currently in the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) phase. The PD&E is required to obtain any state or federal funding for this roadway improvement. The southern limit of the area begins at the intersection of County Road (CR) 197 with State Road (SR) 10 (US 90) and continues north of the intersection with Woodbine Road (Five Points Intersection). A feasibility study in March 2023 determined the feasibility of widening Chumuckla Highway (CR 197) from an undivided 2-lane rural typical section to a divided 4-lane urban typical section. This project has been funded with a Transportation Regional Improvement Program (TRIP) grant with a 50/50 match requirement. This project is an important step toward improving transportation in our area and ensuring safer, smoother travel for everyone.

Ashmore Drainage Improvements

This project is focused on addressing flooding issues in the Ashmore Subdivision and nearby areas by enhancing stormwater management. Key improvements include the construction of a new stormwater pond, installation of new collection systems, outfall structures, and utility adjustments, as well as reshaping an existing pond. To support these changes, a chain-link fence will be added around the stormwater facilities, following Santa Rosa County's standards. These upgrades will improve the storage and flow of stormwater, reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
