The McPhearson & Schell Park Concept shows a skate park, creek expansions, a play ground and a fountain This would be AWESOME! I might turn back the clock 5 years and take skateboarding back up if this park gets built. |

Looks like a great plan. I hope it gains traction and a rehab project finally gets funding.

The story says that completion is set for Jan 2010? I assume that finalizeation of the plan itself, not construction. It was mentioned at the meeting that it would take a couple years just to secure full funding.
Also, this is just a preliminary/rough draft.
They made it very clear that nothing was set in stone in the least, and this was thier very first (of mulitple) versions.

Is that the Skyway we see in those drawings? Funny how dead projects keep coming to the surface. If the city was to build this out completely wouldn't it be a FIRST? Have we EVER built out a plan?

I don't see any skyway stuff in those drawings. Did I miss them?
Anyway, if this new streetcar plan actually gets off the ground and connects to Springfield, that'll put an extra nail in the coffin of the idea of ever expanding the Skyway northward. So I wouldn't exactly worry about that.

It will probably go the other way Joe the more you have the more you want.

well there are other things to know about the plan than the simple list of cool stuff that they are proposing.
Stay tuned. This could get gripping.

It's not the Skyway, but appears to be both an aquaduct underground, on the same right of way planned for the Skyway. BTW, if streetcars go up Main to 8Th to Shands, and a someday Skyway runs from the "S" line above Shands directly South through the West and Southern bounds of the park, they would serve a completely different market.

Check out the upper left of this print, double blue lines. I hadn't noticed that they ended at the water works. OCKLAWAHA

Some updates about this in the comments section. I look forward to this being brought back to the community again when they have finalized a plan. |

The question in Jacksonville is not "If you build it they will come" it is "WILL you build it!"
