Projects & Controversies

From 2002 to 2005,the City of Jacksonville and neighborhood residents and businesses fought over two proposed intersection flyover projects created by The Better Jacksonville Plan.One proposed flyover project was at the intersection of State Road 109 and State Road 10,while the other was at the intersection of State Road 109 and U.S. Highway 90.The dispute was caused by the residents' and businesses' concerns that the flyover projects would consume their properties because of the road widening needed for construction and due to eminent domain.Other concerns were over traffic issues and the fact that the flyovers would be eyesores in the communities.As of 2006,the City of Jacksonville has considered alternative solutions to improving traffic congestion at these intersections,such as various at-grade improvements,including road widening,extra turn lanes,and other related options,but both intersection projects remain at a standstill as of August 2006.
