CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – Have you noticed a tricky road or dangerous intersection in your neighborhood? If the answer is yes, Clay County wants to hear your thoughts on Monday evening.
Leaders are launching the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) project, aiming to make roads safer across the area, and will be holding a public meeting to hear the public’s input.
The county said the public’s voice is essential in shaping this plan and ensuring that the community benefits from safer, more accessible streets.
The Safe Streets for All project, which is part of a national program supported by the US Department of Transportation, has three goals:
- Identify high-risk roadways and intersections
- Recommend safety improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists
- Prioritize infrastructure and policy solutions that save lives
Clay County residents can also fill out an online survey to share their thoughts. The survey also asks questions like preferred method of travel, street safety, and more.
News4JAX spoke with two walkers in Clay County who said they notice some safety concerns in their neighborhood.
“My neighborhood at Eagle Harbor, sometimes there are speeders in the 20 mph zone, they’re definitely going over that. And then at the entrance into Eagle Harbor, some of the road debris kinda breaks up a bit, so they try to repair that as best as they can, when they can,” John Castillo and Franky Wonpat said.
This is the kind of feedback that the county is looking for at Monday’s community meeting.
The meeting will be held at the Library on Town Center Boulevard from 4 to 7 p.m.
