BUILDING BLOCKS SURVEY FOR NASSAU VISION 2050

The County launched Nassau Vision 2050, a collaborative 18-month process involving local leaders, residents, businesses, and stakeholders to shape the future of our community.

The project kicked off with extensive community engagement and a review of the County’s plans, studies, and existing conditions. Based on this input, draft “Community Building Blocks” have been developed, outlining core values that will guide recommendations and strategies for the Vision plan. Residents, business owners, and other community members are encouraged to share their thoughts on the Building Blocks through a new survey. The survey asks respondents to:

● Identify which values resonate with them.
● Describe their ideas for what these values could
   look like in practice.

Once participants take the quick 5-question survey, they will be entered in a raffle to win a local prize or experience in the County.

0 Comments

 
5/22/24 @ 2:30 p.m. - The Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC) is seeking the public's input on two initiatives. 

The first is the 2024 Coordinated Mobility Plan Survey. Input received will help planners better understand the community's transportation needs and obstacles, and will help them to identify solutions to reduce mobility gaps and improve transportation services through the region of Northeast Florida. 

The second survey, Customer Roadway Safety Survey, is designed to help the  NEFRC and Jacksonville Transit Authority (JTA) gain insight on the community's experiences related to roadway safety and JTA Services. The survey is part of JTA's commitment to enhancing safety on roadways, specifically for JTA services, as they strive to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries. 

Each survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Both surveys are open through the end of July. If you have any questions, please contact Summer Jones, Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinator of the Northeast Florida Regional Council at (904) 279-0880 ext. 124 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Citizen Input Needed for Two Initiatives Federal Certification and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
 
The North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (North Florida TPO) is seeking public comments from citizens in its four-county area for two major initiatives.
 
Every four years, the North Florida TPO undergoes a certification process to ensure we’re meeting federal requirements. The USDOT conducted the North Florida TPO 2024 certification review May 2. As part of that review, they would like to hear from the public. Please share your thoughts on the North Florida TPO’s work by submitting comments   by June 2 at https://northfloridatpo.com/certification.
 
The second is the annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), a staged multi-year program of transportation projects to be implemented during the next five-year period in the North Florida TPO area. The 2024/25-2028/29 TIP encompasses over $4 billion in investments. Those interested in offering comments may do so in our survey or during one of our virtual meetings at https://publicinput.com/tip2024. The public can also submit comments on individual projects via our Interactive TIP maps. Please see https://northfloridatpo.com/planning/tip for details. Comments must be submitted by June 2.
 
The TIP identifies all regionally significant transportation projects requiring Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and/or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approval. The TIP also includes a listing of projects that are financed with non-federal dollars which assists local governments within the TPO area with their transportation planning efforts.  Projects listed in the TIP include recommended improvements consistent with the approved Long Range Transportation Plan, and the adopted comprehensive plans of member local governments within the TPO area.  . The TIP is adopted following input from member governments, transportation agencies, the TPO committees and the public.
           
The North Florida TPO is the independent regional transportation planning agency for Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties. The agency leads our region's efforts in planning, funding and mobilizing resources to develop and maintain our transportation system.  Plans and programs include the regional Long Range Transportation Plan; five-year Transportation Improvement Program; annual traffic count and mobility reports; coalitions for Smart North Florida and Clean Fuels; freight mobility; Cool to Pool rideshare commuter services; and public private partnerships. The TPO is governed by a 15-member board of elected officials and transportation agency representatives.  Learn more at www.northfloridatpo.com.

Community Surveys Launched Related to Current Beach Enhancement Initiatives

5/23/2022

0 Comments

 
5/23/22 @ 12:00 p.m.

The Amelia Island Convention and Visitors Bureau has released two community surveys related to 1) beach park harmonization; and 2) tourism and destination development initiatives. 

Nassau County beaches are enjoyed by ALL residents. As such, it is important that ALL residents respond to these surveys to make their voices heard during the planning process. 

The surveys will remain open through June 30th. 

Initiative #1: Beach Park Harmonization Project

The CUVB seeks to harmonize and enhance the visitor's experience at Amelia Island's seven main beach parks: North Beach, Main Beach, Seaside Park, Peters Point, Burney Park, Scott Road Beach Access, and the Southend Beach Access. Building on previous studies and existing guidelines, the Beach Harmonization Project aims to modernize and better equip these parks to better serve the local community, as well as visitors to the area. 

A presentation was made Katie Poppel of the firm EDSA at the May 18, 2022 Board of County Commissioners meeting. Ms. Poppel stated, "The objective of this is the idea of harmonization. How do these 7 parks fit together and create that cohesive space? A space where a resident or visitor can visit any park and find a set of "pedestrian comfort" enhancements including seating, waste receptacles, pavilions, beach access". The May 18th presentation can be found here with the presentation listed under "Tab C". 

Initiative #2: The "Nassau Next" Tourism and Destination Development Project


This project will create a comprehensive roadmap for the future of Nassau County and its tourism economy. Positioning new areas of the county will help capture a greater share of tourism spending while maintaining momentum on Amelia Island. This project will deliver a clear 10-year plan for creating jobs, expanding the economy, and improving quality of life for visitors and residents.
