too little notice for me to drag him to the meeting, though I will be present -
MrBrooks Busey of Sadler Point Marina (and a member of the
www.jacksonvillemarinamile.com) who recently purchased the remainder of Pier17 is interested in the pier park conversion of the old half-bridge and the space below the 17Ortega bridge, as is MsCynthia Segraves.
No it isn't Avondale but it also doesn't get much more convenient when considering the particpant's ability to launch their paddler/kayak.
I wish more folks would think regionally.
residents from Shadowlawn, Montgomery Pl, Richmond St to Bourbon Alley and Powell Pl may not be all too receptive to House on Cherry st incorporating a launch site - nor the true restoration and reuse of the Willowbranch inlet canal where the FYC once stood. These residents may be somewhat resistant to public access as those folks near seminole park on McGirts in Ortega.
From Tillie K. Fowler westside regional park on17 @ 120th, to the Tillie K. Fowler memorial sculpture at the Y on the northbank riverwalk, Jacksonville residents along the beaten path north through Venetia, Ortega, LakeShore, MurrayHill, Avondale and Riverside, should expect and command the Marina Mile to live up to our needs and expectations.
Why not have a water taxi stop at the half bridge?
why not?
J.L.Trent's of YUKON get's it!
They hosted quite a party at Pier17/Sadler Point Marina.
