JTA Invites Public To Informational Meeting On Plans To Widen 5th Street

JTA

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority will explain roadway improvements planned for West 5th Street at an open house Tuesday.

The project includes building a closed drainage system and adding a third lane along 5th Street between Huron and Melson avenues.

The public open house is scheduled for five until seven Tuesday evening at the Westbrook Library at 2809 Commonwealth Avenue.

The project is the third phase of an 18-year-old improvement plan to widen the McDuff Avenue corridor from a two-lane to a three-lane roadway with curbs and gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes.
