'''State Road 109''' is a state road in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]], [[Florida]]. It is a north-south road that starts at [[Florida State Road 13|SR-13]] and ends at Ft. Caroline Road.

University Boulevard |
University Boulevard travels through the western part of Jacksonville's [[Arlington (Jacksonville)|Arlington]] neighborhood. Mostly lined with businesses, it is a major thoroughfare throughout its course. SR 109 (University Boulevard)'s southern terminus is at an [[Intersection (road)|intersection]] with [[Florida State Road 13|SR 13]] (San Jose Boulevard), one [[City block|block]] from the [[St. Johns River]]. It heads due east for over {{convert|1|mi|km}} until reaching St. Augustine Road and turning to the northeast. It then passes over a [[CSX Transportation|CSX]] rail line before meeting [[U.S. Route 1 in Florida|U.S. Route 1]] (US 1; [[Philips Highway]]) and traveling under [[Interstate 95 in Florida|Interstate 95]] (I-95). The highway continues on a more northerly course as it reaches [[U.S. Route 90 in Florida|US 90]] ([[Beach Boulevard (Jacksonville)|Beach Boulevard]]) and [[Florida State Road 228|SR 228]] (Commodore Point Expressway) before an intersection with [[Florida State Road 10|SR 10]] ([[Atlantic Boulevard (Jacksonville)|Atlantic Boulevard]]), and turns briefly to the west as it splits with [[Florida State Road 109A|SR 109A]] (Cesery Boulevard), crossing the Arlington River. After a major [[Interchange (road)|interchange]] with [[Florida State Road 115|SR 115]] ([[Arlington Expressway]]), it continues north to Jacksonville University. Although the SR 109 designation ends at Jacksonville University, University Boulevard continues north for more than {{convert|2|mi|km}} with its northern terminus, like its southern, just feet from the St. Johns River. |

==History== |
|||
University Blvd travels through the western part of Jacksonville's [[Neighborhoods of Jacksonville, Florida|Arlington]] neighborhood. Mostly lined with businesses, it is a major thoroughfare throughout its course. |
|||
Prior to the development of Jacksonville University, from which the road gets its current name, it was called Love Grove Road, hence Lovegrove Elementary School, on the same road. It was then very different from its current urban character. In earlier names it was rural, with farms and open spaces. From 2002 to 2005, the City of Jacksonville fought with neighborhood residents and businesses over two proposed intersection [[overpass|flyover]] projects included in the ''[[Better Jacksonville Plan]]''. One proposed project was at SR 109's intersection with [[Florida State Road 10|Atlantic Blvd/SR 10]], while the other was at its intersection with [[Beach Boulevard (Jacksonville)|Beach Blvd/US 90]]. Residents and businesses feared their properties would be consumed due to the space needed for construction, and that the city would cite [[eminent domain]] in order to do so. Other residents were concerned that the flyovers would detract from the beauty of the neighborhoods. In 2006, the City of Jacksonville considered alternative solutions to improving traffic congestion at these intersections, including various at-grade improvements: road widening, additional turn lanes, and other related options. Both plans were scrapped in September 2007.<ref>[http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/091007/met_198366386.shtml New Fight over Atlantic-Kernan Overpass] Florida Times-Union/Jacksonville.com Accessed 2 July 2008.</ref> |
|||
==Major intersections== |
|||
Cesery Blvd/SR-109A runs nearly the exact same course a few blocks to the east of University, with its northern terminus at Ft. Caroline Rd and its southern limit at SR-109, less than half a mile from its intersection with Atlantic Blvd/SR-10. Although the designation "SR-109" ends at Ft. Caroline Rd, "University Blvd" continues north for more than two miles (3 km) with its northern limit, like its southern, just feet from the St. Johns River. |

State Road 109 (SR 109) is a 8.707-mile-long (14.013 km) state road in Jacksonville, Florida. It is an east–west road that starts at SR 13 and ends at Jacksonville University. SR 109 is known as University Boulevard because the route forms the eastern border of Jacksonville University's campus.
Route description[edit]
University Boulevard travels through the western part of Jacksonville's Arlington neighborhood. Mostly lined with businesses, it is a major thoroughfare throughout its course. SR 109 (University Boulevard)'s southern terminus is at an intersection with SR 13 (San Jose Boulevard), one block from the St. Johns River. It heads due east for over 1 mile (1.6 km) until reaching St. Augustine Road and turning to the northeast. It then passes over a CSX rail line before meeting U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Philips Highway) and traveling under Interstate 95 (I-95). The highway continues on a more northerly course as it reaches US 90 (Beach Boulevard) and SR 228 (Commodore Point Expressway) before an intersection with SR 10 (Atlantic Boulevard), and turns briefly to the west as it splits with SR 109A (Cesery Boulevard), crossing the Arlington River. After a major interchange with SR 115 (Arlington Expressway), it continues north to Jacksonville University. Although the SR 109 designation ends at Jacksonville University, University Boulevard continues north for more than 2 miles (3.2 km) with its northern terminus, like its southern, just feet from the St. Johns River.
History[edit]
Prior to the development of Jacksonville University, from which the road gets its current name, it was called Love Grove Road, hence Lovegrove Elementary School, on the same road. It was then very different from its current urban character. In earlier names it was rural, with farms and open spaces. From 2002 to 2005, the City of Jacksonville fought with neighborhood residents and businesses over two proposed intersection flyover projects included in the Better Jacksonville Plan. One proposed project was at SR 109's intersection with Atlantic Blvd/SR 10, while the other was at its intersection with Beach Blvd/US 90. Residents and businesses feared their properties would be consumed due to the space needed for construction, and that the city would cite eminent domain in order to do so. Other residents were concerned that the flyovers would detract from the beauty of the neighborhoods. In 2006, the City of Jacksonville considered alternative solutions to improving traffic congestion at these intersections, including various at-grade improvements: road widening, additional turn lanes, and other related options. Both plans were scrapped in September 2007.[2]
Major intersections[edit]
The entire route is in Jacksonville, Duval County.
