October 17, 2011, 06:15:58 AMNice updates. What ones are taxpayer subsidized?
How about a Waterways Access update?
Palms Fish Camp?
FIND projects?
Pocket Piers?
Shipyards/Landmar Pier?

October 17, 2011, 06:47:33 AMThis is updates for urban core construction projects only. Not aware of any pier construction, FIND projects, etc. occurring in the urban core, Palms Fish Camp isn't in the urban core. Other than the streetscapes, I'm also not aware of any being taxpayer subsidized.

October 17, 2011, 07:00:17 AMYour right Palms Fish Camp is not in the urban core but its been around for 10 years.
All the projects that you identified I was just thinking to myself how they would have been addressed in the mobility fee. Which ones if at all.

October 17, 2011, 09:14:15 AMNorthpoint town center is very cool looking. What is going to occupy the structure?

October 17, 2011, 09:27:21 AMRetail. The next phase is to develop an urban grocery market across the street. However, I'm not aware of any leases being signed so far.

October 17, 2011, 09:36:26 AMSeriously? Another fricking Japanese/sushi place in Riverside/Avondale?! Any updates on the status of Pulp? That particular storefront has been in the same papered-window condition for a while now.
And agreed. Northpoint Town Center looks great! Is the Northwest Jax CDC behind this project?

October 17, 2011, 10:26:24 AMyeah and I too was going to say the Northpoint Towncenter is looking amazing. Great urban design. By the way, it really looks like the Parkview Pavilion is coming out nicely.

October 17, 2011, 11:02:12 AMI went to Fionn's on Sunday. The crowd was decent sized, but I wouldn't say they were packed. They had some great specials. The interior looks really good, if not a little too themed.
Rush Street will not be able to do anything but serve drinks from their porch for FL/GA, if that. The interior looks months from being finished and just generally a mess. I hope they can shape up and get some sort of product ready by next weekend.

October 17, 2011, 11:20:48 AMI rode by the park view yesterday. Its getting cleaned up, but what exactly are they doing at this point?

October 17, 2011, 12:11:37 PMIs there an ETA for the Phoenix?

October 17, 2011, 12:20:28 PMFixing it up into a parking garage. Now we'll have to see if anyone is interested in developing retail there.
Yes. The Northwest Jax CDC has an ambitious plan to turn that area into a walkable mixed use district.
This month. According to a previous post, they were shooting for a late September opening:

October 17, 2011, 01:30:35 PMWhat exactly is the NorthWest Jax CDC?? Are there others in town?? I think our city could use a few more projects like this.
riverside planner
October 17, 2011, 02:21:26 PMThe Northwest Jacksonville CDC is a Community Development Corporation headed up by Paul Tutwiler. Their work is focused in the neighborhood near Myrtle/Moncrief/Golfair. There are a few other CDCs in town, but I think that this one has far and away been the most successful. They have also done a number of homes in the neighborhood. Here is their website: www.northwestjaxcdc.org. I have no affiliation with them, but have had the opportunity to interact with Paul on numerous projects over the years and always found him to be a stand up guy who gets things done.

October 17, 2011, 02:48:20 PMAs some others have said Northpoint Town Center does look pretty cool. A different design then the typical that we see around here. Nice!!!

October 17, 2011, 10:18:08 PMSomethings is going on at the southbank JEA site. They have a silt fence down most of the west side of the property and there is what looks like a small drilling rig on site.

October 18, 2011, 02:07:43 PMI'm sure the JEA garage makeover was taxpayer subsidized. I mean why would the city let them just piss away their huge profits, (at our expense) when the taxpayers can pick up the tab? This project does nothing for nobody. Why renovate the Trio or other empty buildings and increase residential DT, when JEA so desperately needs to peel a little metal of the side of their parking garage?

October 20, 2011, 09:42:40 PMit appears they've been moving faster....most of the interior has now been repainted and I'm betting they open for next weekend

October 24, 2011, 04:58:59 AMLake, I just went back to look at this. You point out the Family Dollar on Myrtle and I went to the one on Moncrief. Are both bus shelters the same? The one on Moncrief is brand new. Is the one on Myrtle brand new? Is the hurricane signage removable?
I'll be the first to admit I'm not a big transportation guy but are you excited about the design? Does JTA have separate designs like you are going into a sub division? You may pick from A, B, or C?
What is the bus stop location for the Northpoint Town Center? I'll check it out next time I'm in the area. Just curious.

October 24, 2011, 09:26:41 AMResturant will ruin a good boat ramp at Palms Fish Camp. Don't open the resturant.
Rumor is they are having a difficult time qualifying for a septic system on that lot. Notice they fenced a lot of the property and cut parking by 1/3.
