Like do the layouts of these developments make sense for a pedestrian? When walking along the sidewalks of downtown Jacksonville, will pedestrians feel engaged? Will there be a sensible and intuitive way to walk from one land use to another, to take in structures and get the most out of the streetscape? Or will things feel disjointed, disoriented, and isolated with perhaps solid walls lining sidewalks or vast lawns distancing you from the built environment?The DDRB evaluates just these issues when voting projects up or down. There are often trade-offs, and sometimes too much compromise, but they do consider the street-level pedestrian feel.I wouldn't say there's "sometimes" too much compromise. We need more folks like you on that board.My term ended in June and was not renewed....interpret as you will

Wow, only 2.5 years, record pace. I still will wager that SoBa will be complete before the first person moves into River House
Always referred to as Glacier House in our household.
