MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim Hanso
SUBJECT: Follow-up i ms
The following are responses to questions and requests for additional information that
were made in recent City Commission meetings.
JTA Negotiations; ,
The JTA and FDOT are still working on redesign of various portions of the Flyover and
Atlantic Boulevard bridge projects. However, this phase of the project is coming to a
close and some issues are being finalized. The FDOT has decided that it is not in the
State's best interest to own the residual triangulaz shaped piece of property behind the
landscaped area adjacent to West First Street. Consequently, we aze working out the
details for the City to "swap" the property that the JTA will need for a retention pond on
the old Begonia Street right-of--way for that remaining property by West First. Several
commissioners and members of the public have made comments to the Staff that they
would like to own this piece of property for possible future use as a "pocket park" to
~- serve neighborhood residents, although no plans have been prepared to date. 'The JTA is
also looking into the possibility of providing financial assi"stance to eliminate the "dip" in
the road at the Plaza/Mayport intersection. They have also committed to providing traffic
engineering assistance to the City in deternLining the long range effects of the Flyover on
traffic in the Section H azea.

Attached is a list of the suggestions submitted to date for the renaming of Section H.
