include motor vehicles, rail, bicycles and pedestrians. At the outset, she explained that the North
Florida Transportation Organization (TPO) is the transportation planning
organization for Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns County. The organization works closely and
collaborates with local governments, the business community, citizens,
transportation agencies, special needs stakeholders and other interested
parties in meeting transportation needs and goals. Every five years, TPO develops and adopts
long range transportation plans. Studies
are currently underway for a bicycle and pedestrian plan for downtown
Jacksonville and for a future rail corridor at Blount Island. Ms. Bunnewith cited workshops to provide the
public with a forum to voice their ideas and concerns.

4(Gulliford acting voter) - 3 (Brown, Daniels, Joost) In the course of a lengthy discourse, Council Member John
Crescimbeni raised a number of concerns.
He was particularly concerned about the St. Johns River Ferry as a
component in the InterLocal Agreement that is
attached to the substitute ordinance.
Council President Bill Gulliford, sponsor of the proposed ordinance,
addressed Mr. Crescimbeni’s concerns, particularly
how he viewed JTA’s future role with the ferry, if the legislation is
enacted. Council Member Reggie Brown indicated that he was
reluctant to support the substitute because there are Better Jacksonville
Plan projects that have yet to be completed; moreover, he had not seen the
priority list of roadway projects that had been discussed. Mr. Gulliford explained that the
prioritized list of road projects had been vetted and discussed at a number
of noticed meetings that had been held. |
