I-295 needs to be expanded
I am a business major at Florida State College of Jacksonville. I moved to Jacksonville in August 2020, and one of the first things I noticed is that there is only a two-lane highway that runs around the whole entire city. With Jacksonville being ranked the 12th biggest city in the United States, I think that it’s time that we start to advocate for an expansion of this highway into three or maybe even four lanes over the coming years.
Ever since moving to Jacksonville I travel I-295 daily between the FSCJ north and south campuses. The amount of accidents and close calls my friends and I have seen have given 295 the name “death highway” among ourselves.
