Projects & Controversies
From 2002 to 2005, the City of Jacksonville and neighborhood residents and businesses fought over two proposed intersection flyover projects included in the 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 of 2007 [2].
