The Jacksonville Transportation Authority s request to use $379 million from a proposed gas tax increase for the Skyway took a $132 million hit when City Council members voted Wednesday to reduce it by that amount.
JTA did not fight the amendment by City Council member Ron Salem and council passed it on a 16-2 vote.
Salem s amendment did not specify moving the $132 million to any other projects, but City Council member Matt Carlucci has another amendment that would shift that amount of money into construction of the Emerald Trail of multi-use paths for walking and bicycling.
Council did not get to Carlucci s amendment during the Wednesday meeting and will take it up next week.
Rats have made living conditions so unacceptable and despicable at Hilltop Village Apartments the federal government should immediately shut down the complex, Jacksonville City Council member Ju Coby Pittman wrote in a letter to the head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
HUD has not gone that far in its own response to the rodent infestation that has lead to rats running through apartments. The federal agency has met with the company managing the apartment complex about the company s commitment to spend about $256,000 for extermination and pest control, according to HUD.
Pittman said in her letter to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge that 13 of 14 buildings at Hilltop Village are infested.
