Dock space has been secured in St. Marys, and soon permits will be in place in Fernandina Beach for the water taxi connecting the two cities on the Georgia-Florida border, according to this story in today’s Jacksonville paper (and reprinted in the 9/27 Savannah paper). Full service should begin early next year, with shuttle service for special events in the interim. Price for the round trip is estimated at $14 per person, approximately 45 minutes each way.
The water taxi is an important connection for the Greenway project, providing safe access across the border and thus avoiding a potentially hazardous crossing on the narrow US-17 bridge which gets its share of logging traffic. Kudos to Camden County and the City of St. Marys for their continued cooperation with Amelia River Cruises and the City of Fernandina Beach.

As part of National Public Lands Day on Saturday, September 27, Fort Pulaski is beginning the preparation of the additional 1 mile of rail bed extending east from its entrance to the Lazaretto Creek bridge, as discussed today in the Savannah Morning News. They expect 250-300 volunteers, who will work on the rail bed as well as additional projects at Fort Pulaski. Registration begins at 7 am, with work from 8 am to noon. Participants will receive a t-shirt.
This is particularly exciting news, as it appears that our comments to the Fort Pulaski Master Plan were well received, and the project seems to be progressing.

The Coastal Georgia Greenway has been added to the Coastal Comprehensive Plan’s draft recommendations (see below). This will help our efforts in securing government assistance with our projects, once the plan is adopted.
Proposed Guiding Principles
For the Coastal Comprehensive Plan
August 15, 2007
By Jo Hickson
-
Co-ordination among local jurisdictions in developing the Coastal Georgia Greenway system of trails in accordance with the “Gateway to Coastal Georgia – Connecting the Coast,” master plan (adopted 8/1997), and “the coastal Georgia alternative: developing heritage and eco-tourism on the coast,” master plan (proposed for adoption) as they apply to proposed trail routes.
-
Co-ordination among local jurisdictions along US 17 and SR 99 in developing these routes as a National Scenic / Historic Byway and these routes as the spine for heritage and eco-tourism in coastal Georgia.
