We are less than 24 hours away from the HUGE Grand Opening of Chick-Fil-A in Jacksonville, Al. We anticipate a large number of patrons visiting the establishment over the next few days to get their Chick-Fil-A fix, we want to ensure that you are aware of some public safety concerns. 1. Please make sure to plan for more than the usual amount of traffic on Pelham Road and Church Street, also expect some delays with the amount of traffic we are expecting. 2. Make sure to pay attention to traffic patterns to enter and exit the restaurant, there are NO LEFT-HAND turns entering the restaurant from Pelham Road. 3. Vann Street will be blocked off from Pelham Rd to the Cook out entrance, so that the drive thru traffic does not clog up the intersection at Vann & Church St. We will give traffic updates as things change. Please play attention to the road!!!

With the start of the year for Jacksonville City Schools, we will be monitoring the bus routes in an effort to keep our children safe. Please remember that ALL traffic must STOP for a school bus that has its STOP sign/arm extended. There are very few exceptions and I have them illustrated below. If you see someone violating this law, report them immediately!!! Jacksonville Police Dept. 256-435-6448 #schoolbussafety #kidsfirst #jcskids

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 10, 2019 The Jacksonville Police Department recently received a complainant from a concerned citizen about the inability to use van accessible handicap parking at different businesses across the City of Jacksonville, because individuals with or without placards were continuously parking illegally making it difficult or impossible to use a wheel-chair ramp. Since that time, the police department has received interpretation on this new statue with the Jacksonville City Judge and Prosecutor, and received their advice on the best practices for enforcing the statue. Therefore according to Alabama Code Section 32-6-233.1: Unauthorized use of parking places. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person who does not have a distinctive special long-term access or long-term disability access license plate or placard or temporary disability placard as provided in Section 32-6-231, to park a motor vehicle in a parking place designated for individuals with disabilities at any place of public accommodation, any business or legal entity engaged in interstate commerce or which is subject to any federal or state laws requiring access by persons with disabilities, any amusement or resort or any other place to which the general public is invited or solicited, even though located on private property, and upon conviction, notwithstanding any other penalty provision which may be authorized or employed, shall be fined a minimum of fifty dollars ($50) for the first offense, a minimum of two hundred dollars ($200) for the second offense, and a minimum of five hundred dollars ($500) for the third or any subsequent offense. NOTE: IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL TO PARK IN THE BLUE OR YELLOW STRIPPED AREAS, THIS CAN ALSO RESULT IN A CITATION. Officers will enforce this statue according to how it is written. This is NOT what many will consider to a revenue source, this is about doing what’s right and making sure that citizen’s complainants are taken serious and handled in a timely manner. This is NOT a City of Jacksonville Ordinance, this a state law passed by the legislative branch of our government. I urge anyone that this applies to, to look up the above statue and read it in its entirety. If you have any question you may contact the Jacksonville Police Department at 256-435-6448.
