development is positive and needed. A good gas station and maybe a burger joint would go nicely on that corner…
that corner also NEEDS a traffic light.

Unfortunately, development is normal and towns do grow. People need and want services as more people move into an area. 50 years ago, folks were scratching their heads about the Cap Circ NW extension. It was a waste of money! We also wondered about that new I-10 project and nothing out there on Monroe, north of that new freeway but trees and swamps. They were roads to nowhere. Now look at it. Short of going back to horses and wagons (Probably not a bad idea), it is what it is. Fortunately, there is a lot of country between Tallahassee and Thomasville to relocate to, far away from people, trouble, fastfood joints and gas stations.

Not only is the needed, it will be welcome. Additionally the intersection NEEDS a red light.

I still don’t understand why their needs to be a Velda Diary Road extension. That is a 2 lane Road and once this get built, you will then have to come back and widen it to 4 Lanes.

The water will flow to Welaunee.

The Welaunee developers were fined by two regulatory agencies already for serious environmental violations. There was a recent million gallon sewage spill and the city is doing a good job of sweeping that under the rug.

You can have development but it must be safe, pass all environmental regulations, and meet all the aesthetic requirements. This is not being done by Mayor Dailey, Dianne Williams-Cox and Curtis Richardson. They allow their special interests to cut corners in these areas and it has devastating consequences.

Someone please ask the Mayor; If the vote is “ceremonial at best”, why is the commission wasting our time and money on it?

I think we should lock Matlow and Richardson in a phone booth together (they still have one in Carrabelle). I’ll bet they’d get stuck together… just like a couple of dogs. I’m sorry if that evoked an unwanted image.

Gee, why don’t they put a charging station on that corner instead? Isn’t the future supposed to be EV’s? That’s what all the little Marxists-in-Charge have been crowing about for years.

I live in this area and this is the last thing we need’ we have plenty of gas and fast food alternatives already
But shame on Ben boynton for selling out to the Gazvinis who will develop anything they can buy
