THE COUNTY HAS BIG PLANS FOR KINGSFIELD ROAD. An Escambia County Mid-West Sector Plan and Detailed Specific Area Plans (DSAP) was approved in September of 2011.
Here is the Escambia County web site for that plan:
Basically the county plans to build an access road (The Beeline Corridor) from near Beulah on I-10 north some dozen miles to connect to Highway 29 near Quintette Road. This limited access highway will have only a few interchanges AND ONE OF THEM IS KINGSFIELD ROAD. Kingsfield will be extended and improved for this purpose.
Kingsfield Road is a potential outlet for the new UWF West Campus property and connector to UWF East Campus as the desired new campus exit. And Kingsfield Road (not Greenbrier Boulevard) has the right-of-way necessary to handle UWF traffic all the way to Highway 29 and the new Beeline Road. A Kingsfield connector would require an overpass over Pate Road and could follow right-of-way now occupied by new sewage lines to the new Escambia County Sewage Plant.
So, in summary a Kingsfield Road Connector through West Campus from East Campus allows access to both I-10 West and to points north on the new Escambia County Beeline. It allows access to all of west campus property (including the 250 acres west of Pate Road). The athletic complex and football stadium plan could be moved back to where it was originally proposed (and there is more room) in West Campus because Kingsfield solves the Greenbrier right-of-way bottleneck issue.
