Residents again urged the board to reconsider routing the Sun Trail on A1A Beach Boulevard instead of the county study's own safer option, Michler Boulevard (1 crash in five years versus 86, including a fatality). No board action resulted.

A ~260-mile regional loop trail would run about 40 miles through St. Johns County, including the contested Beach Boulevard segment. Residents are split between safety fears on the busy beach road and cyclist support for the safer separated path.
