City Council voted 14-5 on May 25 to approve a 6-cent per gallon increase in Duval County for $1 billion in transportation projects. 
After the Jacksonville City Council passed Mayor Lenny Curry’s proposed increase to Duval County’s local option gas tax May 25, he acknowledged to reporters gathered in the City Hall rotunda that no tax hike is popular with voters.
“Today’s a historic day for our ability to invest in much-needed infrastructure in our city,” Curry said. 
“We’ve neglected this stuff for years and we need a source of revenue.”
The Council voted 14-5 to approve Ordinance 2021-223 that will double the gas tax from 6 cents per gallon to 12 cents, starting Jan. 1, to complete nearly $1 billion in road, drainage and other infrastructure needs. ....

Gas tax vote cuts $132 million from potential Skyway funding


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. ....
