Residents praise speed-table project on Yucca Drive; commissioners confirm approval

Board of County Commissioners of Santa Rosa County · September 10, 2026

Summary

Residents of Yucca Drive told the commission they welcomed approved speed tables and sidewalks after long advocacy and cited speed measurements of up to 60 mph on the short roadway; the chair said the project is approved and moving forward.

Multiple Yucca Drive residents spoke to thank the commission for advancing plans to install speed tables and sidewalks. Barbara Redden, who has worked on the agenda item since April 2024, said the project "has been a long time" and that she hopes funding and construction proceed soon.

Peggy Hendricks said public-works speed monitoring recorded some vehicles near 60 mph on the 0.2-mile roadway and described safety issues for neighbors and people with disabilities. Chair Colton Wright told residents the Yucca Drive work was on the consent agenda and has been approved.
