In April 2017, host Rick Outzen sat down with Pensacola Beach developer Robert Rinke to discuss a comprehensive solution to the area's notorious weekend gridlock.

After seven years of committee work and over $1 million in engineering studies, local officials had identified a promising plan to transform how people access and move through Pensacola Beach.

In this in-depth conversation, Rinke broke down the two critical bottlenecks that have plagued beach access for years: the toll booth system and the single traffic light on Pensacola Beach.

He explained how recent improvements to the Sun Pass system addressed the first issue, while an innovative $22 million infrastructure project could eliminate the second.
