Widen State Road 16 Now


The St Johns County residents who have signed this petition are asking our elected representatives to work with the State of Florida Department of Transportation and the Developers in St Johns county to implement a plan to widen State Road 16 now. We have been told by county officials for years that it is the Developer's fault for not paying their "fair share". And, we have been told by Developers that impact fees have been paid with every development that have not been spent properly. We are not trying to "throw stones" at anyone. The truth is likely somewhere in the middle. All we are asking is that everyone work together and transparently to make this happen for the good of our residents. Commuters from Clay, Bradford and Union counties travel State Road 16 to get to the east coast. St Johns county residents travel State Road 16 to get to central Florida. And, many residents who live here have seen significant increases in accidents, traffic delays and diminished quality of life. So, by signing this petition we are saying with a UNITED VOICE "Let's work together to solve this problem today!" Let's put this project at the top of the list! Let's be transparent about the funding! Let's be transparent about necessary coordination with State officials. And, Let's get the job done! We ask our elected officials to take our petition seriously. We deserve to be represented by public servants who will work to improve our quality of life. Thank you!
