If they want to innovate downtown bring back two-way streets.  This isn't rocket science.

Just tweeted from Marco Rubio:

"Great news today for #Jacksonville. Working with Mayor @lennycurry @CityofJax we have been able to get @USDOT to fund both the Bay Street Innovation Corridor & the Urban Core Riverside projects. More details coming in press release. #Sayfie"

Well, I guess we'll see how this works out sooner than later. What's the Urban Core Riverside project?

^No clue on Urban Core Riverside, but I've heard that the final piece of the Hart Bridge ramp removals were also funded.

Don't know if it's true or not, but that's be another big win if so.

Great work to all those involved were bringing home the funding.

Sweet!

I'm glad it's not coming out of the general fund.

Part of President Trump's amazing infrastructure deal I'm sure.

Just got a press release. It's a project to turn Riverside Avenue into a giant lightup keyboard that plays notes when Skyway pods drive across it.

A little more detail, it's now being reported that USDOT will pick up the full remaining $12 million for the $36-$37 Hart Bridge ramp removal project.

The city has agreed to pay $12.5 million, and the state has agreed to match that $12.5 million, if the project happens.

City Council votes on Tuesday on formally appropriating our $12.5 million contribution to the project.

The Bay Street Innovation Corridor proposal got $12.5 of the $62 million it needs. Also, the Urban Core Riverside project was a mistake in the tweet. That's the Hart Bridge ramp project.
