Official announcement of Cervantes lighting improvements tomorrow

Senator Doug Broxson, Escambia County Commissioner Lumon May, Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward, Pensacola City Councilwoman Jewel Cannada-Wynn, Florida Department of Transportation officials and Gulf Power representatives will make a joint announcement detailing the plans to bring much needed safety improvements along West Cervantes Street.

When: 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 12
Where: Brownsville Community Center, 3200 W. DeSoto St.


Note: Sadly my friend Raymond Reese won’t be able to attend. For years, he  fought for improvements to West Cervantes after he nearly run over a child near Attucks Court. Raymond’s ashes were released into the Gulf of Mexico this past weekend at Johnson Beach, which is named for his oldest brother.  Raymond is the person who first brought the issue to me.

They finally listened, Raymond.
