-Sabrina Robertson County Manager's Office 12/2/20 @ 9:50 a.m. - Last week, a Press Release was issued by the Nassau County Chamber of Commerce announcing the second round of sanitation supply distribution for County businesses. Due to a delay in obtaining certain supplies, the distribution originally scheduled for Monday, December 7th has been moved back to Monday, December 14th to allow additional time to secure the products. The event will take place from 8am-4pm on Monday, December 14th at the Chamber's Office located at 961687 Gateway Blvd., Fernandina Beach, FL 32034.
The products are being purchased with Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Funding provided to the County via the CARES Act. The Chamber of Commerce and County have partnered for distribution of sanitation supplies to the local business community to assist in prevention of the spread of COVID-19. These products are available to ALL Nassau County businesses (not just Chamber members). Attached is the updated Press Release from the Chamber reflecting the new date. If you have any questions, please contact the Chamber of Commerce at (904) 261-3248. -Sabrina Robertson County Manager's Office 12/1/20 @ 3:00 p.m. - In July 2020, Nassau County Engineering Services collected vehicular data on Flora Parke Blvd. after receiving numerous complaints of high traffic volumes and speeding. The data collected was used to determine whether the road meets the criteria for speed hump installation.
In order for speed humps to be considered, the road must have a volume between 300 and 3,000 daily trips and notable or consistent speeding in excess of the posted speed limit. Over a seven day period, daily traffic observed 1,609 trips on Flora Parke Blvd. Speed data records revealed that many were going speeds above or beyond the posted speed limit of 25mph. The lowest recorded speed was 6.6 mph, however the maximum recorded speed was an astounding 74.5 mph. The data collected from the July study confirmed that the roadway meets the criteria for speed hump installation. On Wednesday, November 25, 2020, two speed humps were placed on Flora Parke Blvd. to increase safety on this segment of roadway. While speed humps are similar to speed bumps, they are considered to be less aggressive as they are narrower and lower in height. Speed humps are often used on streets where low speeds are desired such as in residential areas and near playgrounds. The Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 2019-25 creating the County's first Speed Hump Policy in March 2019. If you have any questions, you can contact Engineering Services directly at (904) 530-6225. -Sabrina Robertson County Manager's Office 12/1/20 @ 8:45 a.m. - Just a friendly reminder that the bi-annual Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event will take place this Saturday, December 5th from 8am-12pm (or until truck reaches capacity... whichever comes first).
