Dear Editor and Neighbors:
Given the continued activism against traffic problems on May Street and now potential traffic problems with Riberia Point, the time has come to share some thoughts and observations about the severe traffic and parking problems plaguing our downtown residents.
Historic City News readers in St. Augustine are invited to turn out this Saturday, May 17th from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m for Family Funfest at Greater Love Ministries; located at 555 SR-16; next door to Dollar General Store.
