Mandarin is not just one ZIP code — and Mandarin Road does not belong to one small slice of it.

This is a shared historic corridor that matters to all of Mandarin, all of Jacksonville, and even visitors across Florida who experience its canopy, character, and natural beauty.

Yet we are hearing claims that attempt to minimize this movement by focusing narrowly on a single ZIP code (32223) — while ignoring the broader community, including 32257 and 32258, which are also represented and clearly engaged.

Let’s be clear:

👉 The data being referenced by a local councilman  is incomplete and taken at a moment in time

👉 Petition summaries show overall geographic trends — not precise ZIP code breakdowns

👉 And most importantly, this issue impacts far more than one ZIP code

📊 Change.org’s own data shows that 64% of signatures are coming from local Mandarin-area ZIP codes — demonstrating clear, community-based opposition to this project.

That is not outside noise — that is your neighborhood speaking.

Mandarin Road is:

A historic corridor protected by ordinance
A destination for festivals, cyclists, runners, and families
A defining part of Jacksonville’s identity

Trying to reduce this to “just 32223” misses the point — and misrepresents the voices of thousands who care about preserving it.

🚀 We are growing every day.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and spoken up.

Let’s keep going — and make sure every voice is heard. On to 5000.
