Residents outraged after conceptual map of Pea Ridge connector surfaces on social media, leading to nearly 6-hour commission meeting
A nearly 6-hour Santa Rosa Board of Commissioners meeting April 25 revolved around a four-plus hour public forum session, with dozens of speakers voicing their opposition to a conceptual route that would extend the Pea Ridge Connector to connect to Berryhill Road. Discussion also centered around an agenda item related to a terminus, or end point, for the Pea Ridge Connector, that the county was considering off Berryhill Road. By the end of the meeting, the commission voted 4-0 to call for a public hearing for the Berryhill Property, but it removed terminology related to the Pea Ridge Connector. Instead, the county is considering the Berryhill property as a possible drainage pond in the Berryhill Road widening project.
