97!A officer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission blocks traffic in a westbound lane of Atlantic Boulevard as Amazon delivery trucks exit the new facility. | Image courtesy of Jacksonville Today reader Pablo S.reader, asks why a vehicle with flashing lights is blocking a westbound lane of Atlantic Boulevard at General Doolittle Drive. “It is not a police vehicle,” he says. “From my observations, the closure seems intended to allow Amazon vehicles to turn right onto Atlantic Boulevard without stopping, which in turn leads to unnecessary backups in the middle and left lanes.” “Can you clarify what authorization they have to close the lane in this manner, as it is causing significant traffic congestion.”The congestion in that area might be temporary. Amazon spokesperson Austin Stowe says the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has been issued a temporary permit to direct traffic during installation of a new traffic light.The Amazon facility has a main entrance/exit at Atlantic Boulevard and Sutton Lakes Boulevard, but the road and new traffic signal are in the last phase of construction between two auto dealerships. A second entrance/exit lies just west of Atlantic Boulevard and General Doolittle Drive, where no traffic signal exists. In all, Amazon has 10 facilities in Northeast Florida employing more than 8,000 people. The facilities range from larger distribution centers like the Pecan Park location to smaller facilities like the one just east of Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport.Dan Scanlan is a veteran journalist with almost 40 years of experience in radio, television, and print reporting.
