A RESOLUTION URGING THE EXPEDITING OF THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE WONDERWOOD EXPRESSWAY
NO. 89-11
WHEREAS, the U. S. Naval Station Mayport is today one of the
most strategic Naval installations on the eastern seaboard of the United
States while continuing to expand, and
WHEREAS, the Beaches area, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and
Jacksonville Beach has been exploding in population, and
WHEREAS, Atlantic Boulevard is becoming more and more a local
road with traffic signals along its entire length, and
WHEREAS, the proposed improvement to Atlantic boulevard (State
Road 10) will not be capable of handling the projected traffic flows.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, as follows:
Section 1. That the City Commission of the City of Atlantic
Beach, Florida views as an extremely urgent priority the necessity of
constructing as soon as possible the proposed Wonderwood Expressway from
Mayport Road across the Intracoastal Waterway westerly. This will be a
safety factor for our citizens allowing them to have better access to and
from their jobs and their homes and at the same time allow freer access
as a national defense issue for the U. S. Navy thus tying in by limited
access highway all three Naval facilities in the Jacksonville area.
Section 2. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon
its passage.
