Foot traffic on Main was common in 1941
The urban population would have increased faster adding to the corporate scrapers due to the less restrictive city policy and would make Jacksonville the premier city in Florida if not the southeast.
The sports venues would have been built into the urban fabric allowing neighboring establishments to feed off of the activity.
We would have an iconic courthouse and a bustling government district.
The surrounding neighborhoods would all be connected to the core via a comprehensive network of commuter, light rail or skyway lines.
Visitors to the city would have a multitude of way finding signs leading to attractions, parking, and districts.
