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.
Judge David Bragg Nears Retirement After 12 Years on the Bench Dec 29, 2020 at 06:15 pm by WGNS
After more than a decade of public service, 16th Judicial District Circuit Judge David Bragg will retire effective Jan. 1st, 2021. A lifelong Murfreesboro resident, Judge Bragg won his seat on the bench in 2008, following the retirement of Judge James Clayton.
Judge Bragg still remembers how his first day on the job found him feeling excited and unprepared for what was to come. His new colleague on the Sixteenth Judicial District Circuit Court, Judge Don Ash, called him and informed him that he had a defendant on his docket who wished to enter a plea. Unaware of the process of taking a plea, Judge Bragg told Judge Ash he didn’t know what to do.
