While the official boundaries of the study are those mentioned above, anyone with safety/mobility issues on the westside is encouraged to attend.  For example, if you care about Edgewood Avenue through Murray Hill, this may be a good opportunity to have your voice heard.

I like this. Glad JTA is doing it.

Do these charettes address overall community aethetics, or just roadway safety?

^ all of the above and more

Do they have jurisdiction to do something about over-sized business signage along many of Jax's commercial corridors?  I suppose people will argue that tall pole signs aren't necessarily aesthetically displeasing, but commercial thoroughfares along neighborhoods in Ponte Vedra, the Beaches, Bartram Park, are generally requiring smaller signs and mostly monument signs.  Can older Jax neighborhoods get the same love?

Advertising is beautiful, man.

monument signs and signage on the building aren't advertising?
