Fuller Warren Bridge Widening: City Council Responds



The Florida Department of Transportation wants to widen the Fuller Warren Bridge and the community isn't too happy about it. After taking the time to gain a better understanding of FDOT's plans and the community's concerns, the Jacksonville City Council responds. What they have to say will pleasently surprise urban core advocates.

Very well written, council!  Now if you could apply this same thoughtful, smart growth, citizen-minded reasoning to your decisions about growth and zoning within the City of Jacksonville, I would truly be impressed.  If you can stand up to FDOT with a list of reasonable demands, then why do you give into private developers and let them run all over you?

Way to go, City Council. Well phrased. Especially the shared use path! This would be huge, and would make a statement to all those flowing through the city on the expressway that we value our local core and its citizens.

Really glad to see that they addressed those light towers.  They are totally out of place in an urban area and make the surrounding neighborhoods look like something out of a zombie movie.

Kudos to the City Council for listening to the concerns of the community. Hopefully something workable will come of this.

AMAZING letter!

The elimination of the retention pond in favor of adding a parking lot for 5 Points is a perfect idea! I really hope that happens.

Interesting that all 4 of the City Council members who are on the Transportation Planning Organization signed the letter. And 9 signatures is 2 less than a majority of Council.

It could/should lead FDOT to go above and beyond the typical "no-frills" roadway projects they've given us in the past.  This is a great move by council. The interchange and bridge are essentially a gateway to our community and State of Florida. We need to get this project right. This is the type of proactive leadership that advances the quality of life of a community.
