The End of State Road 9A

[Sonic101]

In Santa Monica on I-10 they have a "Jacksonville 2,460" sign, I say we should return the favor while they're at it.

Why can' t they just put stickers with I-295 over the existing 9A  and save a bunch of money, like they did downtown when FCCJ was changed to FSCJ?

Maybe they could use the savings to smooth I-10 going into town.  The area near the Ramona flea market going into town is like a washboard.  They keep cutting sections out, and replacing the concrete, making it very uneven.

^^ That idea was basically what I meant in an earlier post.  Attach Decal Material over an existing sign.   I know Interstate signs have a different shape, but  Decal Material showing the very same image should suffice.

decals might work on the big overhead signs....but not on all the post signs on the road side.

Look folks, $1.3 million for all the signs along 9A and on every road intersecting it is not much at all....I'll bet there are close to 200 signs that have to be changed

I don't think it matters if it is a great deal or not.  The point should be: Why bother?  It is one of those things done that costs a lot of money, and to most 1.3 mil is still a lot of money, that will not help Jacksonville much at all, if any, and is being done because it makes the designation of the road in line with other "beltways".  Sorry, it is one of those wasteful expenditures that makes me wonder whose uncle is getting a new Mercedes out of it.

the reason is simple....whether you like it or not, it has been in the plans for decades...and costs are cheaper now than they've been in a long time.

honestly, it was always part of the deal inextending 9A all the way around on the southeast...and it would be difficult to state that the completion of the beltway doesn't have any beneit to our region...just ask the logistics companies involved with the port.
