Without Nocatee, the Intracoastal could be lined with apartments and boat slips one day. I believe Nocatee will result in a balanced taxed base. For these and other reasons, I support the Nocatee development. I hope all relevant city and county officials will see the wisdom of Nocatee's planned development as opposed to inevitable, uncontrolled and unplanned development. This is in response to a letter writer's opinion of the school bus system in Jacksonville.
Every year there are more and more children going to school.
Yes, the first few days are filled with kinks in the system that always get straightened out. But the problems are not always the fault of the school system or the bus contractors, as the letter writer would like us all to believe. Many of the problems are because of the parents who tell the system that their children will be at a certain location at a certain time in the morning, then they are not there. Or, the parents are not there when the child is dropped off in the afternoon. Yes, there is much confusion in the beginning, but there is something much more important to all of us than a temporarily mixed-up schedule.
