Donna Danson opened the meeting by welcoming everyone. Donna stated the purpose of this meeting is to help and learn from each other in order to improve incident management and communication between responder agencies. Donna stated the March 2015 First Coast TIM Team Meeting Minutes were sent to the Team previously and stand as approved. Attendees introduced themselves to the group. Overland Bridge Project Update – Bill Kays with KCCS provided the update. o Bill showed aerial photos, including the photo on the next page, on the projector screen and provided a summary of where the project stands and what work is upcoming. There are no planned traffic switches until after the next meeting. o Bill stated speeding is still an issue and continues to cause accidents throughout the construction area. First Coast TIM Team Meeting May 19, 2015 Ron Tittle gave the Construction Project update. o Ron presented the Team with a PowerPoint presentation “Traffic Incident Management Public Information”. The vision FDOT has is to have a fatality and congestion free roadway system. By the year 2016, every major corridor in Jacksonville will be under construction. Please go to nflroads.com for any concerns about work zone safety. There are currently two I-295 Express Lanes Projects in design or construction. The two projects are highlighted below. The Northeast Florida Express Lanes website is nflroads.com. I-95 to Buckman Bridge (San Jose area) o This project began construction in the Fall of 2014 and is expected to be completed by the end of Fall 2016. o Concerns from the public regarding this project have been the removal of trees, ballparks near the Interstate, vehicles going off road during incidents, and lighting into neighborhoods. o Ron discussed the unfortunate incident where a sound wall that was being installed fell on a worker and killed him. J Turner Butler Blvd. to SR 9B o This project has been expedited by Governor Scott to accommodate the eventual opening of 9B. o The project is currently advertised for letting as a Design/Build contract. First Coast TIM Team Meeting May 19, 2015 o This project should be completed in time to help with the traffic when 9B goes all the way to I-95. The Overland Bridge Project is continuing as Bill Kays previously mentioned.. The website for this project is i95overlandbridge.com or simply nflroads.com This project began in January 2012 and is expected to be completed by the Summer of 2016. Concerns regarding this project are the installation of bridge beams, pattern changes, and speeds in work zones. The I-95 and JTB Project is going well other than traffic backing up. The construction team has had issues with pedestrians walking within the construction zones. Signs have been put up which will hopefully help with this issue. A design rendering of the project is shown below. Buckman Bridge The Safety Study draft has been completed and will be presented to the District’s senior management soon. I-10 and Hammond Blvd. Exchange Traffic switches will be happening here in the future. Traffic Safety Campaign for pedestrian and bike safety.

Ed Ward was unable to attend but had let Donna know he had nothing to report. o Bob Kosoy noted the one-way evacuation plans are almost complete. Josh Reichert and Craig Carnes provided the ITS Update. o Construction is ongoing for the new RTMC building. The expected move-in date is late August to September 2015. o ITS Maintenance is going well. There have been no large device outages. o Work is continuing on the Phase 9 Project on the southeast quadrant of I-295. Pull boxes and splice vaults are being installed so the fiber backbone will be installed fairly soon. This quadrant should be complete by October which will complete the ITS system around the I-295 beltway. o Work is being done to install fiber from I-95 in St. Johns County at CR 210 south to the Flagler County line. Directional boring looks to be complete so conduit should be installed soon. This project is expected to be completed by February of 2016. o Conduit is being installed on the I-10 and SR 23 North Project. This project is expected to be completed by February 2016. o The project on I-75 from SR 24 to Georgia will be Let in July. This project will consist of 87 miles of fiber optic cable. The design for the devices will begin in July of this year and be Let for construction in July of 2016. o The designer has been chosen for the project on I-10 from Jacksonville to Tallahassee. This project will consist of two phases, similar to the I-75 project, with the fiber being designed and installed first and then the devices, structures and power being designed and installed last. o There is an upcoming project to connect the fiber optic cable on I-95 to the City of St. Augustine. The fiber will go down SR 16 from I-95 to US-1 south to connect with St. Augustine’s network. Greg Gaylord was unable to attend and had informed Donna he had nothing to report. o Ron Tittle thanked the Road Rangers for allowing the media to ride along with them and noted how dangerous their job is.

First Coast TIM Team Meeting May 19, 2015 Accident of 4/23/15 Accident of 5/11/15 Mike Work with the Florida Forest Service presented the Team with a PowerPoint presentation “Wildfire in Florida”. A few highlights from the presentation are as follows: o Our ecosystem is dependent on fire. o Containing wildfires causes a lot of undergrowth within the forest and eventually fuels catastrophic wildfires. o Lightning is the leading wildfire cause in Florida. o In most wildfires, smoke consists of about half tar droplets and half soot and ash particles. o In fires with heavy fuels, two or more tons of smoke particles are produced per acre. o 85% of all wildfires occur near communities. o Please go to www.southernwildfirerisk.com to see the risk of wildfires near your home. First Coast TIM Team Meeting May 19, 2015 Donna Danson provided the Incident Debrief. o The Team had nothing additional to discuss regarding the incidents. Craig Carnes provided an update on SHRP 2 Incident Management Training o A course was recently held in Starke from 6pm-10pm. o If anyone is interested in the SHRP II Incident Management Training Course please contact Craig Carnes at [email protected].

  • Unearthing St. Augustine's Colonial Heritage
    Unearthing St. Augustine’s Colonial Heritage: An Interactive Digital Collection for the Nation’s Oldest City Abstract In preparation for St. Augustine’s 450th anniversary of its founding in 2015, the University of Florida (UF) Libraries requests $341,025 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to build an online collection of key resources related to colonial St. Augustine, Florida. Along with the UF Libraries, the Unearthing St. Augustine project partners are the St. Augustine Department of Heritage Tourism and historic Government House, the St. Augustine Historical Society, and the City of St. Augustine Archaeology Program. This two-year project will have two major outcomes: 1) UF and its partners will create and disseminate an interactive digital collection consisting of 11,000 maps, drawings, photographs and documents and associated metadata that will be available freely online, and 2) project staff will create original programming for a user-friendly, map-based interface, and release it as open-source technology. In addition to providing digital access to numerous rare and desirable resources, the primary goal is to create a flexible, interactive environment in which users will be comfortable using and manipulating objects according to different research needs. Along with searching and browsing functions—including full text searching—the project will develop a map-based interface built upon geographic metadata. Users will be able to search for textual information, structural elements and geographic locations on maps and images. This model will encourage users to contribute geospatial metadata and participate in the georectification of maps. For the first time, this project brings the study of St.

Especially inviting are the miles of undevel- oped beachfront still remaining along our Southeastern coast. Just to the south of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where multimillion-dollar mansions rub shoulders with the shore, the undeveloped beachfront at Guana River State Park offers the same view and the best of beachside amenities (sun, sand and surf), without a million-dollar mortgage. A bit farther south in historic St. Augustine, Florida, is Anastasia State Recreation Area. There, coastal camp- ing, swimming, sunbathing, surfing, sailboarding and fish- ing offer time well spent and a premier coastal getaway. Four miles of white sand beaches, tidal marshes and a lagoon provide birders with ample opportunities to observe resident populations of pelicans, gulls, terns, sandpipers and wading birds. The 2002 Editors’ Swing around and take flight on a pelican path, glid- ing north to Jacksonville’s Hanna Park, with its backdrop Choice Awards of high dunes, sea oats and ancient maritime forest. coastal Comfortable campsites – including four newly completed cabins – invite beachseekers to stick around and enjoy Northeast Florida at its beachy best. A short hop over the St. Johns River jetties takes you past Huguenot Park – where four-wheelers and pickups countdown prowl the wide, hard-packed sands – and on to Little Talbot Island State Park. There, five miles of unspoiled, uncrowded beach awaits. Right next door is Big Talbot When it comes to our coast, how do we love thee? Let us count the waves.
