First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 33 of 56 SR A1A THROUGH ST. JOHNS COUNTY FROM THE DUVAL COUNTY LINE TO MICKLER’S LANDING (identified as Segment 6 in Figure 10) The segment of SR A1A in St. Johns County between the Duval County line and the southern terminus of SR 203 at Mickler’s Landing (approximately six miles long, Figure 31) has an existing sidewalk (Figure 32) along the west side of the highway. The sidewalk is widely separated from the roadway, and it is recommended that the ample right-of-way in between be used to expand the facility to a 12-foot shared use path with corresponding improvements. As this is an urbanized area with many driveways and cross streets, some signage and marking improvements would also be needed at FIGURE 32 Existing Wide intersections. Sidewalk along SR A1A SR A1A FIGURE 31 Segment 6
First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 34 of 56 SR A1A THROUGH ST. JOHNS COUNTY FROM MICKLER’S LANDING TO VILANO BEACH (identified as Segment 1 in Figure 10) Guana River S.P. The portion of SR A1A through St. Johns County from Mickler’s Landing at the north end to the Vilano bridge on the south end (Figure 33) is the highest ranked corridor in the priority list. For most of its distance, the segment parallels Guana River State Park. While some portions of this segment offer attractive opportunities for greenway development, others are seriously constrained. For approximately one-half mile south of Ponte Vedra Blvd, there is an existing sidepath along A1A that ends at Broken Pottery Drive. Vilano Beach The right-of-way is sufficient to extend this sidepath an additional 1.3 miles to the south. At that point, the right-of-way narrows and the FIGURE 33 potential for a greenway facility becomes constrained. While it may Segment 1 be technically feasible for the path to continue through this section, it would have to be in very close proximity to the motor vehicle travel lane. This condition is prevalent for approximately one-half mile. After that point, the right-of-way abuts the state park on the west side of A1A. For the subsequent nine to ten miles, the ideal scenario would involve the construction of a greenway at the eastern edge of the state park. Interruptions are minimal, and while the facility would resemble many of the shared use path scenarios described above, some portions might involve boardwalks (Figure 34) because of the nature of the terrain.
