Mission
Under the direction of the Deputy City Manager, the goal of the Fernandina Beach Citizens’ Advisory Task Force on Walking and Biking (“Task Force”) is to gather proposals from residents and visitors on sidewalks, trails, paths, and bike lanes to make our community more accessible and friendly for walkers, runners, cyclists and people with mobility issues. Why Every recent Fernandina Beach citizen survey reflects walkability and bikeability as the number one priority for residents. With a growing population and 1.6 million visitors to Amelia Island each year, it’s time to prioritize mobility alternatives for walking and biking. Who The Deputy City Manager has appointed a panel of six City residents representing diverse neighborhoods, interests and physical abilities, including a member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. How and When The Task Force will hold its initial organizational meeting on March 22, 2023 at City Hall, 204 Ash Street. In April and May , there will be three Community Walking and Biking Town Hall Meetings to invite citizen input. Additionally, the Task Force will work with City staff to develop an online tool to gather additional public input. In June, there will be two final Task Force consensus-building meetings to select short-, mid- and long-term recommendations and draft the Task Force Final Report. On July 7, 2023, the Fernandina Beach Citizens’ Advisory Task Force on Walking and Biking will present their Report of Community Recommendations to Promote Safe and Accessible Walking And Biking Travel in Fernandina Beach to the Fernandina Beach City Commission. The presentation of the Task Force Report of Community Recommendations in early July will make the information available to the City Commission early in the City’s FY 2023/2024 budget planning processes. Possible Task Force Members Tom Camera Robin Lentz Doug Roselle Elaine Roberts Mike Spino Valerie Feinberg Staff Lorelei Jacobs, Grants Administrator Jeremiah Glisson, Public Works Director Kelly Gibson, Planning and Conservation Director Catherine Vorassi, Parks and Recreation Director Taylor Hartmann, Planner Daphne Forehand, Planner

She helps clients find their personal style — authentically expressing who they are and what they want to display to the world. “I want them to feel themselves, influential, powerful, and inspired,” she shares. “When we get dressed, instead of worrying, we should ask ourselves what is the easiest and best?” While gaining new business acumen, why not get a professional headshot to promote yourself?

The City’s annual street resurfacing project is scheduled to begin March 14, and is expected to take 3-4 weeks to complete. This year’s project will involve the milling & resurfacing of nearly 3.3 miles of City streets.
Our 5-year resurfacing schedule is created by analytic data provided by the software Roadbotics, which is reviewed and prioritized by staff. All yard debris, garbage carts, and vehicles on these specific roads must be moved off the road. Affected residents may need to make other parking arrangements during this timeframe. Schedule may change slightly due to weather and other conditions outside the City’s control. Week one schedule:
