From the City of Fernandina Beach

A message from the City of Fernandina Beach maintenance department along with DRC emergency services: City residents, please place storm debris within the right of way (the area between the street and your home, typically about twenty feet long).
Do not place the debris in the road or in the way of any storm drain flow areas.
The plan is to begin pickup on Monday. Thank you!
Update 9/14/2017: County Public Works Director Scott Herring has advised that the county will be responsible for debris removal on county roads within the city (14th Street, Amelia Parkway).
Exactly what is the right-of-way on a narrow residential street? I want to do the right thing here. Thanks.
Karen, the right-of-way is the area between the sidewalk and the street. If you don’t have a sidewalk along the street, it is the grassy (or sandy) area that borders the street.
