NW St Johns Roads

Have you taken an opportunity to drive down the new roads yet in NW St Johns? Over the last couple of weeks I have gone around the barricades to look at the new developments in the area.

First, we have the reopened Russell Sampson road. The northend of this road is really nice. The south end of Russell Sampson could use some improvements. Perhaps after CR 2209 opens. Speaking of CR 2209, the top part of Russell Sampson is 2209. The next piece will go down towards Publix on CR 210. That will make it real convenient for people to get between JCP and 210. CR 223 and 244 also appears done but for some reason are not open yet.

Another item in the works is the extension of Bartram Park from St. Augustine Road down to Racetrack Road. This is currently underway. Hopefully that will be finished this year. That could really help out the JCP families getting onto I95 north.

The new sports fields are being built just south of Race Track Road. You can always check out information on the CAA Soccer website (www.caasoccer.com).

Now if we can just get the county to move on fixing the I95 and CR 210 interchange disaster. Last I heard, there are delays for starting the exit from I95 project. Of course we already saw that the county painted a second line to "stop" the "cutters" from cutting over from the right lane to the left lane at the entrance. How about just extending the length of time for the green light so that more cars can get through in the morning and evening?

That's about it for this time. Hope your commute isn't too bad!

Later!
