Adding 98 to SIS deemed too costly

Adding U.S. Highway 98 to the Florida Strategic Intermodal System could cost more than Santa Rosa County is willing to pay.

“(SIS) is where the money is, but I don’t think we’re ready to change the entire complexion of U.S. 98,”  Santa Rosa County Commission Chairman John Broxson said Monday, adding that the congested east-west corridor does not meet the state’s level-of-service requirements for SIS facilities. If the highway is designated a SIS facility, it will immediately fail state standards. Local governments cannot issue develop orders for projects on a road that doesn’t meet level-of-service standards.
