NORTH FLORIDA TPO TO HOST LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN PUBLIC MEETINGS

Area Citizens Are Invited to Discuss Proposed Transportation Projects

How should we invest in transportation for the future? What do you do when you have nearly 700 needed transportation projects costing over $27 billion with $7.6 billion in projected revenue to pay for them? We must make tough choices.

The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (North Florida TPO) is developing the

2040 Long Range Transportation Plan to meet the needs of our diverse and growing region. In our first round of public meetings in April, citizens told us their priorities for investing in road, transit, bicycle, pedestrian, freight, safety and technology projects. Based on that input and projected funding, the TPO has developed a draft Cost Feasible Plan.

Area citizens and business owners are encouraged to participate in the meetings to see the

proposed projects and alternatives and then let the TPO know how to invest. The ongoing public input and plan update process will conclude with a public hearing in November to adopt the recommended 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan.

Every five years, the North Florida TPO revises the area’s transportation plan which has a 20-25

year time horizon and addresses roads, transit, freight, bike and pedestrian needs for our growing region. This year’s update will look at growth projected to the year 2040. The Path Forward 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan will be completed by December. Visit www.pathforward2040.com or call 904-306-7500 for more information.

The North Florida TPO is the independent regional transportation planning agency for Clay, Duval, Nassau and St.

Johns counties. We lead our region's efforts in planning, funding and mobilizing resources to develop and maintain our

transportation system.

COST FEASIBLE PLAN $ 7.78 BillionFunding is allocated according to federal and state requirements for each funding source and public input. The total amount of funding available is $7.78 billion. These projects provide a return on investment of $1.94 in economic benefits for every $1 invested for a total benefit of $14.7 billion.

Bike lanes and sidewalks are included in all non-limited access road projects. Additional funding is allocated to bicycle and pedestrian projects. This funding will increase 66 percent from the 2035 Plan and increase 123 percent from the 2030 Plan. Projects are not specified In the plan because more extensive public engagement is needed. Additional input opportunities will be provided in upcoming bicycle/pedestrian planning studies.

Transit investments are increasing 66 percent from the 2035 Plan and 92 percent from the 2030 Plan.

Freight projects are important investments to support our region’s economic competi-tiveness and growth. They include improving connections to airports and seaports, operational and safety improvement for rail and highway- rail grade separation projects.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

All roadway projects by FDOT should include provisions for non-motorized modes of travel, including limited aces facilities.

For example - like the Suncoast Parkway in Tampa, there's no reason the First coast Expressway can't have a shared use path

paralleling its entire length

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

Do what the people ask not what you want. The people want bike/ped, transit. 25% for bikes not 3%. This is what is asked

for. No more roads. We want bikes + ped ad mass transit!

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped Pulling funding 1.9 billion road projects.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

Better access to transit for ADA. Improvement for wheelchairs into buses and ADA ramps and stops, advance warning for

ramps. Flatten curves/ADA ramps, better warning surfaces.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

I think it is essential that bicycle and pedestrian projects need to be called out in the plan. If there is a concern about listing

specific projects, set aside a box fund with at least 3% of the cost affordable funds.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

A focus on environmentally focused projects that will 1) Reduce emissions and reduce GGE, 2) Support projects tat will not

degrade the water and air quality of our area, 3) Projects that increase opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian modes of

travel. We must make a shift in priority to livable and sustainable solutions. TPO can take the lead in reducing cars on the

road by shifting more funding to bicycle/pedestrian as opposed to roads and transit.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

People want more bike, ped, transit that is clear. Why are (you) spending it on roads? Do what the people want! 25% want

bike/ped. 2% actual is not right!

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

I strongly disagree with spending $1.1 billion on the First Coast Outer Beltway and $2.2 Billion on the Strategic Intermodal

System. This money should be reallocated to transit, bike and pedestrian improvements.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

FDOT project Beaver St., Stockton to McDuff. No sidewalks near viaduct. Road diet! If four lanes instead add sharrow and

signage to project, bike racks on sidewalk.

Duval Public

MeetingBike/Ped

The allocation of bike/ped $ equally among counties is inappropriate and does not reflect population and needs, and both

high demand in Jacksonville and public safety crisis presented by current state of facilities. JTA mobility improvement

corridors are not meshed with COJ mobility plan bike/ped or gaps analysis or need - what about crossings at bus stops?

Duval Public

Public demand for biking - based on that bike/ped is significantly underfunded.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

First, thank you for all the recent improvements in Nassau county in regard to bike-ped (trails, bike lanes). Our community

values recreation and we are also aware that many, many of our visitors (tourists) also want to walk and cycle safely. Please

continue to support such programs. Regarding transit and road improvements, it is very important to do our planning now

for the out-years. Acquire the corridors before they are filled with development. Also, please insure that any mass transit

we add to our area has the flexibility to move bicycles (in buses and trains).

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped Thanks for a well done open public meeting. Bicycles forever!

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

Please give higher priority to bike/ped part of plan on Amelia Island where I live. Bicycling and walking is important for

transportation as well as recreation and provides a positive image for the Island.

Page 28: Appendix J cfp plan public workshops

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

From a bicycle perspective, a lot positive has happened in the past 4-5 years. As a cyclist I am appreciative of the TPO in this

regard. I hope it carries forward to the coming 5 years - thank you.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

Focus on modal conflicts, i.e. bike/ped vs. vehicle. Better (tighter) access control - median and driveway cuts, roundabouts

vs. traffic signals @ intersections.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

I think many of the existing roads need to be retrofitted to accommodate bike/ped lanes and more emphasis needs to be

placed on trails and other routes for bikes.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped

From Shave (SR200) Bridge to Amelia Island Pkwy. There are no bike lanes. Need bike lanes there. There are bike lanes

leading to this section on both sides. With widening of SR 200 funding in to this point, bike lanes will be more important.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped Bike lanes form Amelia Island Parkway to Bridge (SR 200). Bike lanes on two bridges from Little Talbot to Big Talbot Islands.

Nassau Public

MeetingBike/Ped More bike paths and/or separate lanes for bikes.

Website Bike/Ped

Common sense and not politics should govern allocation of funds for bicycle and pedestrian resources in North Florida. The

proposed rotation policy fails even the most basic requirements of planning and wastes valuable taxpayer resources. Funds

should be allocated based on needs assessment, connectivity and safety, not on political favor. Please revise the plans to

favor common sense and civic responsibility. Bert W. Shaw, MA, Bicyclists'  Advocate and General Director, Representing the

1,200 members of the North Florida Bicycle Club.     

Website Bike/Ped

I would like to comment on the TPO's process for the selection of bike/ped projects without a prioritization process that is

based on connectivity or safety.  I hope that you're well aware of Jacksonville's reputation as, arguably, the most dangerous

city in the US for cyclists and pedestrians.   As such, the selection of bike/ped projects should not be arbitrary.  Emphasis

should be placed on safety and connectivity.  While most people with means just choose to drive their car because the

streets of Jacksonville are unsafe, many others are forced to walk and ride along whichever route is available.  Your video at

the Path Forward 2040 site emphasizes the need to reduce congestion.  If you make cycling, walking and mass transit a viable

option for people, it will reduce congestion without the need for new road construction. I also have a question.  The slide

below, from the meeting in Jacksonville, that I could not attend, suggests that the public's priorities are equally split between

funding roads and bike/ped facilities.  However, the "needs" for bike/ped facilites are shown to be only 2%.  How was this

determined?  Certainly this was not a reflection of our safety numbers, which are abysmal. As the vice-chairman of the

Jacksonville BPAC, I'm very concerned about the selection process for bike/ped projects and I would be happy to provide my

input to the TPO on specific project decisions.  Please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Troy Mayhew

Page 29: Appendix J cfp plan public workshops

This should be down right spell binding to the 849,997 of you that stayed home during the recent TPO dog and pony show.

The 23 of us that did show up (you must give consideration to the 11 or 12 souls that were being paid to be there) gave them

hell for two solid hours. Will it matter? No a chance. This stuff is pre ordained and in the pipeline, the 'public input' is simply a

noise hurdle required by big brother. You will get more roads, less transit, less bike and pedestrian paths and you will learn to

like it! The voices of change can be counted on one hand.

TSM&O

Since MPO/TPO has become "Regional" transportation needs locally in Duval Co. have been ignored and/or put on the back

burner. Duval Co. streets and roads within are in horrible condition. This situation seems to have delayed the

implementation of "BRT" Bus Rapid Transport. Duval Co. needs (CR, B, BK) access to all four sides of city where in diversified

services exist. GNM in Durkeeville has requested sidewalks and improvements for Myrtle Avenue from Forrest St. to Myrtle

Ave. @ Golfair, which also needs bike lanes. This area has more bicycle riders day and night than any other local area. This

has been noted and requested many times before now at public meetings, notes to CCM's and comments to the TPO/CAC.

No response yet. An updated traffic signal at the five point intersection of Kings Rd., N. Myrtle Ave. and 3rd St. is sorely

needed, due to accident, blind spots turning west and turning east onto Kings Road.

Duval Public

MeetingFunding

Part, and only part (although a significant part), is the organization of the funding. Restricted funding is restricted.

Unfortunately, that's a result of the political process and the way funds have historically been organized. I think the big thing

we should take on is figure out how we can get these buckets of funding reorganized to meet the needs of the 21st century

Jax metropolitan area. Needs have changed, funding allocation needs to change.

Clay Public Meeting Road We’re interested in 17 becoming an SIS to open up economic opportunities.

Clay Public Meeting Road Should county commission vote on 17 becoming an SIS?

Clay Public Meeting RoadMiddle tiered counties like Clay and Putnam are walled off from the big pots of money. Clay’s contribution to the gas tax

through the years doesn’t match up with the projects that are awarded in this county.

Clay Public Meeting RoadDidn’t see the Greencove Bridge on the project list, but saw it on the map. Make sure that’s corrected. This bridge is a safety

and liability issue…we need the sidewalks widened to accommodate golf cart traffic.

Clay Public Meeting Road First Coast Expressway – we support from a standpoint of economic growth and development.

Clay Public Meeting RoadHwy 17 (Palatka to 295) needs to be added to the SIS plan due to the ports in GCS (@Reynolds) and Palatka. Ideas

presented: Resolutions from Counties and cities as well at State Senator and Rep.

Page 31: Appendix J cfp plan public workshops

Clay Public Meeting RoadPort to port connections using US17 should qualify for SIS funding. Suggest changing the FDOT policy recognizing the SIS

needs between Palatka, Green cove Springs and Jacksonville.

Clay Public Meeting Road

Please consider economic impact by percentage when deciding. I believe the Outer Expressway will have a greater impact in

Clay County than any other area. One such example is the connection of Cecil Park to and through Reynolds Park, driving

additional business and jobs in an area typically considered a bedroom community This can also result in lesser

traffic/commuters to an from Duval, resulting in a greater/more dramatic impact on the current traffic problems as well..

The bus system must be improved and expanded. Buses have to go to areas where there are lucrative jobs. But No, we have

to improve commuter roads. Screw the people who can't get a job because they don't have a car, seriously. There are

companies that will not hire you if you don't have a car. If the transit in this city allowed people to get to work on time, that

attitude might go away.

MJ meeting article Transit

Seems kind of foolish to me, instead of taking 17 to 10 to Forsyth, they will add another 15-20 minutes onto the ride by going

through Avondale/Riverside/Brooklyn? Kind of defeating the purpose. Also, how "experimental" are these maps, because it is

definitely useless to run BRT all the way out to Middleburg. Anything further than OP Mall on Blanding is wasteful in my

opinion.  I mean right now the express bus comes all the way down to Doctors Inlet at 220 and though ridership is growing,

(avg 5 or 6 cars in the park and ride instead of none to 2 that were there in the beginning), it still must be a money loser.

Shorten up those BRT lines, run a streetcar down Park from JRTC to FCCJ-Kent and all those wishing to go that way can

connect there, while those heading downtown or to points east can move on with some speed.

MJ meeting article Transit

They most likely need riders from denser neighborhoods to make their ridership numbers better in order to win funding.  The

map also shows a JTA accessibility and mobility improvement project for Park Street. Perhaps, they are willing to pay for the

complete retrofit of Park Street, if allowed to operate BRT on it? On the other hand, no real need to add a streetcar to

Brooklyn or Riverside if you're running BRT two blocks away from the corridor.  Take that fixed transit money to another

neighborhood like Springfield instead of investing in duplication.
