Riverside Ave near the Cummer WTF?

I'm not wild about all the lights heading to and from work but I agree that they're needed to train the flow of traffic. Even if the side access wasn't an issue, a six block long chunk of cars piling down Riverside Ave would be insane.

I don't know for sure but I imagine they'll be adding a turn signal to the light at Riverside and Margaret before long. Going eastbound and trying to turn there can be insane during rush hour.

Riverside Avenue is a state road (there are little signs with "211" along there), so the cameras mentioned along Riverside Ave. can't be red-light cameras - the State doesn't allow them on their roads.

As said before, the light at the closed fire station is really for Forest Street.  Right now it has less traffic than Riverside, but when that big interchange is finished, and there are exits from I-10 and I-95 to Forest Street, I bet traffic will pick up.  Notice that Forest is 6 lanes wide, so someone is expecting a lot of traffic on it.

Riverside is one of the nicer places to ride in town, but i feel safer on larger roads like Hendricks/San Jose. It's obvious that Jacksonville caters to "spandex riders" and their $1000 bikes. The city will never cater/support bike commuters. Just the other day i blew a tube on R'side Ave....this would never happen at the beach or in San Marco/mandarin.

^We're working on that.  A transit friendly city has to be able to support and cater to bike commuters as well.
