FROM: Jim Hans
~~-
SUBJECT: Follow-up eport
Elimination of JTA Bus Stoo; A question was raised at the last Commission meeting about the
JTA's removal of a glass enclosed bus stop at the intersection of Atlantic Boulevazd and
Mayport Road. JTA has advised that this bus stop has been eliminated because of traffic
congestion at that corner. The bus stop will be placed at another location in Atlantic Beach,
which has yet to be determined by the JTA.
No Littering Signs at Beach Access on 18`" Street; A concern was raised about the lack of a
"No littering" sign at the 18 Street beach access. A sign prohibiting littering does exist at the
18`" Street beach access as well as most other City beach access points. In an effort to improve
the looks of the beach accesses, most of the older signs have been removed and replaced with
consolidated signs listing the City's rules for beach use. Several City garbage cans also exist at
the 18`" Street beach access, which are emptied regularly.
Street Striving; Commissioner Waters requested that stripes be painted on City streets at the last
Commission meeting. He has since clarified his request to include only major streets in the City.
Each of the City's major streets has been surveyed to determine if striping presently exists.

AGENDA ITEM #3A
APRIL 8, 2002
If the Commission would like for this work to be done in the current fiscal year, then $18,000
should be added to the resurfacing account during the mid-year budget adjustments.
Sidewalks and Vegetation: East Coast Drive; It has been reported that the sidewalks along
East Coast Drive were difficult to use because of broken places and vegetation extending into the
walkway azea City staff has surveyed both East Coast and Ocean. Property owners who have
vegetation encroaching on the sidewalk have been asked to have it trimmed back or removed as
appropriate. The City will also have some repairs made to the sidewalk on East Coast Drive.
However, a water line will be installed along this street during the Core City Project and the
sidewalk will be replaced at that time. Consequently, only minor repairs will be done now.
Selva Streets Tases; In connection with the acceptance of the streets in the Selva Marina
Subdivision, the City of Atlantic Beach has requested that the City of Jacksonville forgive any
unpaid taxes. Atlantic Beach first paid the Tax Commissioner for the amount of taxes
outstanding for which certificates had been sold to private individuals. Atlantic Beach has now
received a copy of a resolution adopted by the Jacksonville City Council canceling the balance of
the delinquent taxes. This action clears all outstanding taxes on these streets.
