BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 2019, Perdido Key Drive became a County-owned roadway when the Road Transfer Agreement (RTA) between Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Escambia County, Florida, for State Road (SR) 292 (Perdido Key Drive) from the Alabama State Line to Gongora Drive and County Road (CR) 99 (Beulah Road) from Mobile Highway (SR 10) to Isaacs Lane, which was approved by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting on September 5, 2019, was signed and executed by FDOT Secretary Thibault.
 
On November 18, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners recommended that staff proceed with solicitation of engineering services for intersection improvements at the intersection of Perdido Key Drive and Johnson Beach Road. The services will include operational analysis and design services for a single lane roundabout. Public involvement will also be key to the progress and success of this project.
