It was noted (in the last issue) a hearing would be held on the 15th of De- cember. That date is Not the date the City Council will vote wheth- er or not to vacate Ivy Island, that vote will come early next year.

If Ivy Island is vacated the total square footage left as public property would be less than the size of a tennis court and likely have the “Welcome to St. Johns” sign placed on it.

In it, there are two alter- subscription EXPIRE. native propositions for Ivy Island, one of which calms traffi c on the slip lane and keeps our “Gateway” intact.
