MAYOR NANCY SHAVERGuest Column: The importance of mobility in St Augustine
Nancy E. Shaver, Mayor City of St Augustine, FL

Whether it’s the couple of million vacation visitors we have every year, or you and I going grocery shopping, or the many folks from St. Johns County and Jacksonville who come here for the day or the evening or for one of our many events–it’s a lot of people in cars—likely six million annually—and growing.
