$35,000 · George Crady Fishing Bridge Council Member Gay reported on efforts with state representatives to address deteriorating conditions at the George Crady Bridge, noting the City contributes $35,000 annually and Nassau County $15,000 under an agreement requiring the State to maintain the bridge. He stated the State has not fulfilled its maintenance obligation since 2003, resulting in a current $15 million restoration estimate, and called for a phased funding plan to reopen the Duval side. Representative Michael expressed concern upon learning of the issue and committed to visiting the site and offering assistance. Leatrices Bell described long-term community use of the bridge, closure of the Duval side, lack of maintenance, and questions regarding use of past funding. She urged restoration and transparency. Commissioner Barker explained prior FIND Subcommittee reviews concluded the cost to repair under FDOT standards was prohibitive, and past funding was for cleaning and safety, not structural maintenance. Council Member Gay reiterated that the State is contractually obligated to maintain the bridge. Commissioner Redick noted the bridge’s designation on the A1A Ocean Islands Trail and the Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway could support restoration advocacy. Commissioners Barker and Hoyles supported collaborative discussions to explore solutions, with Mr. Hoyles noting the site’s fishing value and potential for alternative designs.
