Alachua County got its first scenic road designation since 2004 the county s sixth overall Tuesday, with Micanopy s Tuscawilla Road.
County commissioners voted 3-2 to give the designation to the two-lane road between Cholokka Boulevard in the Micanopy town limits and U.S. Highway 441, which brings the road additional protection.
The roadway meets several of the criteria for designation, as outlined by the county, including scenic, archaeological and historical significance.
Commissioners Chuck Chestnut and Mary Alford voted against the measure due to concerns about access to a planned commercial property, a Dollar General, being built near the roadway. Trucks weighing more than 25,000 pounds will not be allowed on the road without a variance from the county, and commissioners voted down such an exemption.

Prizzia, who introduced the motion, said it s important the county be prepared should local hospitals become overwhelmed. She pointed to the introduction of the new virus variant in Florida which has so far not been detected in Alachua County, and the return of college students as potential concerns for an increase of cases and virus-related hospitalizations.
“I don’t think we should spend weeks gathering information before we can make a decision,” she said.
Under state law, occupancy in bars and restaurants could be reduced to 50%, but that can only happen if a local government first convinces the state it is needed, quantifying the economic impact the law would have on businesses and explaining why it is necessary for public health.
