In Okaloosa County, this plan ignores common sense boundaries and uses obscure waterways and block lines for borders. It also divides neighborhoods by using these obscure lines.
We suggest the following changes.
1. On the western side the line follows I-10 to the Crestview city limit, then continues to Hwy 4 (Antioch Rd), instead of meandering further up city limits and a small stream to Hwy 90, the line should go straight up Hwy 4 to Hwy 90 and then to the Yellow River. This line is a cleaner split.
2. On the eastern side, the line meanders from Hwy 90 southeast to the Shoal River along block lines that split neighborhoods. There are two choices for a cleaner boundary.
a. The line should continue east along Hwy 90 to the Shoal River
b. From Hwy 90, the line should go south along Okaloosa Ln to the railroad tracks, then follow the tracks southeast to the Shoal River.
