ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. - Another superb student on the First Coast is $1,000 richer.

On Monday morning during Good Morning Jacksonville, First Coast News handed out another Hero Next Door student scholarship.

It was the fourth of 11 total scholarships that are being handed out to a field of finalists that were narrowed down from more than 500 applicants.

The final scholarship of $5,000 and will be handed out May 22 during Good Morning Jacksonville.

The rest will be handed out during the morning show every weekday until the big finale.

Monday's winner is 18-year-old Alexa Parsons, a senior from Creekside High School.

Her dad, Mike, nominated her for her academic success and work with at-risk youth.

"I think that it seems to be something that comes naturally to her to reach out and try to help people that don't have the good fortunate she has," he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Old habits are dying hard for a retired cop in West Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A west Jacksonville neighborhood is trying to get the city to change the speed limit on Argyle Forest Boulevard.

Right now, a stretch of the road is marked with three speed limits in less than three miles.

The beginning of the stretch begins at Blanding Boulevard, where the speed limit is 35 M.P.H.

It rises two more times to 40 M.P.H. and 45 M.P.H. the farther you drive west.

The Argyle Area Civic Council believes the road has been marked this way since before it went from a two lane road to a four lane road.

The group would like to see the road marked consistently at 45 M.P.H.

Bill Lewis, the group's president, said this week the change would help with traffic flow and cut down on unintentional speeding.

"People are used to 45 M.P.H. on all sorts of roads in Jacksonville with four lanes," he said.
