While no official steps have been taken by JaxPort, local residents and business owners are rallying to "Save the Ferry."
We have been keeping an eye on the Mayport River Ferry since the Jacksonville Port Authority brought up the subject. They say it is too expensive to keep the operation on their books.
While no official steps have been taken by JaxPort, local residents and business owners are rallying to “Save the Ferry.”
The most recent news, found on Jacksonville.com, includes a planned demonstration on both sides of the St. John’s River to show support for the ferry service to be held February 18th, at 2:00 PM. The Mayport ferry has been operating since 1948 and it is one of the last remaining public ferries in Florida.
