• Jacksonville Aviation Authority Executive Director Steve Grossman is looking to help curb the number of people getting speeding tickets just outside JIA. The issue came to his attention several weeks ago when visitors from Kentucky were issued a citation on Yankee Clipper Drive. In a letter to Mayor John Peyton, Grossman said, “Traffic enforcement on this stretch of road is a common complaint that the Airport receives, especially from non-residents.” Grossman wants to talk to Peyton about the speed limit and other other things JAA can do to warn motorists.
