Last week-end I handed out information on the southwest corridor bus transit to some of the businesses located in the Cedar Hills and 103rd Shopping Center. Yesterday I stopped to talk to a few of them. Two businesses contacted COJ and were told that NO JTA was only putting in small bus stops and wouldn't effect their businesses or land acquistion. I directed them to the JTA website that shows a rapid bus system is being planned, also Metrojacksonville website. Two other business (big box stores) said there was nothing they could do on their end, it was up to their corporate office and doubted they would do anything. I have handed out flyers (50) and email addresses to surrounding neighbors, telling them to contact COJ, JTA and council persons.
Also, I sent an email to TU and Channel 4, asking why they aren't covering this issue. No response from them.
If just 20 people tell 5 people, and those 5 people tell another 5, you get the picture and 30% email or call COJ and JTA hopefully our voices/concerns will be heard.
