PHASE III - Neighborhood Extensions
The JTA plans to advance the design of the U 2 C for about 5 more miles in the last phase of the buildout that is estimated to cost between $50 million to $75 million to complete. A Transit Concepts and Alternatives Review (TCAR) planning exercise was completed in 2020 that identified alternatives for each of the proposed Skyway corridor extensions including: • Southwest Corridor - Brooklyn and Riverside have large office towers just over the edge of Downtown and melt into a blend of historic homes and eclectic shops and restaurants. Redevelopment in the northern portion of the corridor is bringing more places to live, work, shop, and dine. Planned autonomous vehicles will help connect future residents to areas within the corridor, as well as invite them to explore nearby neighborhoods reachable by the U 2 C program.
PHASE III
• Southbank Corridor - The Southbank portion of the corridor has medical, office, and residential towers. The historic San Marco neighborhood has charming homes and small businesses. • North Corridor - The historic Springfield area was once served by streetcars along Main Street and has undergone a renaissance with new and renovated homes and shops. Area residents and business owners are highly engaged in the community and host neighborhood festivals and events.
