Bartram Park Community Newsletter – September 2018

Keep up with the newest openings, closures, events and development updates affecting the Bartram Park neighborhood. Here is a rundown of what residents were following this month.

New Restaurants Now Open

Two new eateries are now serving customers. Whits Frozen Custard, famous for its premium frozen custard, has opened in Bayard along Phillips Highway, and La Napolera has debuted in Bartram Park next to Bono's BBQ on Old St. Augustine Road. Both are open and ready for guests.

Meanwhile, Pei Wei in Bartram Park has permanently closed.

4th Annual Fall Festival & Car Show

Save the date: November 3rd, 10 AM to 3 PM. This yearly community celebration benefits Toys for Tots and, new this year, the Dreams Come True Foundation. Look forward to food trucks, local vendors, a DJ, raffles, kids' games, a prize-winning car show and plenty of surprises. It is family fun that supports two worthy charities.

Walmart Now Hiring

The Walmart at Racetrack Road and Bartram Park is slated to open this fall and is filling 350 positions.

Help Reduce Noise Pollution

Residents are encouraged to sign and share a petition asking FDOT or developers to add a noise barrier that protects quality of life for homeowners in the Montevilla Subdivision and nearby Bartram Park communities. Excessive noise has been a concern since the 9B extension opened, and traffic is expected to increase once the Durbin Park Shopping Center opens in the coming months.

Community Meeting on Bayard Re-zoning

A Bayard Town Hall meeting will cover a proposed zoning change, and all residents are encouraged to attend and take part in the discussion. It takes place Monday, September 10th, 6:30 to 8 PM at Julington Baptist Church, 12740 Snyder Street, Jacksonville, FL 32256.

For details, reach Tiziana Onstead, Executive Council Assistant for Council Member Danny Becton, at [email protected] or (904)630-2737.
