3 issues in roads with medium priority
Rail crossing safety funding
The region is getting a share of $350 million in federal money to improve rail crossing signs and safety along the CSX/Amtrak line through Clay County.
Russell Road capacity and the Sandridge median
The study says Russell Road needs only a two-lane divided section through 2050 — a $61 million project nobody has funded. Commissioner Condon pushed back on Sandridge Road median complaints, citing a 20% crash reduction.
First Coast Expressway (SR 23) growth
Member Kurt Musser noted the final SR 23 segment was awarded to a contractor, with the toll road targeted to open from I-10 to I-95 in 2029, likely 2030 — a change he says will cause the county to 'explode' with growth.
