  • 02/01/07 - Approved the Transportation Regional Incentive Program Agreement (TRIP) for the design of roadway improvements on Blue Angel Parkway from Sorrento Road (SR 292) to US 98; adopted a Resolution authorizing the Chairman to sign; and Authorized the Chairman to sign the Agreement and the Resolution.

The total acquisition (including drainage) is estimated to cost $10,100,000. The estimated construction cost for this project is $49,300,000. The remaining right-of-way funding has been prioritized within the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Priority Listing (Strategic Intermodal System [SIS]) for funding in 2026.  (Construction year funding has not been identified at this time).

With this current obligation of funding from Escambia County, FDOT will begin the right-of-way acquisition phase for SR 173 (Blue Angel Parkway) from SR 292 (Sorrento Road) to SR 30 (US 98) and will give higher priority to funding the remaining need for this project. FDOT will undertake and administer the project, and Escambia County will contribute a lump sum payment in the amount of $5,000,000 toward the acquisition cost.
