“The most recent accident I’ve seen was a few weeks ago and there was just car debris all over the road. Before that it was just an overturned car on their side. Every single accident I’ve seen has been awful,” said Hannah Carnes.News4JAX reached out to the Florida Department of Transportation and the City of Jacksonville for answers.
The City of Jacksonville said, in part, “Currently, the Wells Creek Homeowners Association has an engineer working to design the signal plans. COJ is working to enter into a Public-Private Partnership with the HOA and secure the funding to build the signal.” It also shows the projected number of accidents at the entrance of the community increasing when compared to last year, which one resident said proves the traffic light is needed sooner.
