Fiscal Year 2006 Projects

Posted on September 8, 2007 04:41 by hbruun

I came across this nice map showing projects that were underway in 2006 for St Johns county.  As you can see it covers both the pedestrian crossing on the San Jose end of the road and the sidewalk at the Race Track end.

Click on the image to get the full picture.

I located the projects map for 2007 too, but it didn't have anything directly affecting our street (see below):

Manatee protectors find few boaters making waves 

HOLIDAY WEEKEND: Law enforcement picked a hot time and place for boaters.
WEATHER WOES: A lack of sunshine may have stymied patrol efforts.

FYI... we have a nature preserve across from us

Julington Durbin Creek Preserve

13130 Bartram Park Blvd.   Mapit
Jacksonville, FL 32223

Amenities offered at this park:  3 Trails Unpaved (Miles) + Fishing Available   

Acres:  2006.96, Park Type:  Preservation   

The area is located on a peninsula formed at the confluence of
Julington and Durbin creeks, and has approximately nine miles of
shoreline along the two creeks.  The peninsula is a long sandy
ridge that grades into floodplain swamp and marsh along the
creeks’ shores.  Natural communities consist of sandhill along
the higher areas near the center of the peninsula and flatwoods
at the lower elevations.  The preserve contains extensive
floodplain wetlands, providing water quality and floodplain
protection for both creeks and the St.  Johns River.  Wildlife
viewing: Known wildlife at the preserve include bald eagle,
osprey, gopher tortoise, bobcat, turkey, deer and numerous
species of wading and songbirds.  Manatees seasonally swim in
both creeks.  Recreational activities: Hiking, picnicking,
horseback riding, bicycling and nature study.
