FIRST COAST COMMUTER RAIL TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) STUDY – WORKSHOP 2 COMMENT SUMMARY
Terrific examples........except the ones which have parking lots which look identical to today. We have to restrict auto parking.
Spend the money to fix Philips highway traffic!
Please share your thoughts about the proposed Avenues Walk framework.
Looks great for *the* area.
200 riders a day at the most.
No train.
That area now is a very desolate Park and Ride. Mixed commercial- retail is needed to make it safer.
Let's get it done
Once again, current proposal I love, just go bigger! The potential for development around these stations is huge, while yes land is privately owned, proper dense development can be enforced/encouraged/incentivized, with proper mid-high use Zoning, COJ, etc. Of all the other station, this one I could see very little local push-back against going bigger, since aside from the one housing development back there, its all parking and strip-malls surrounded by highways, R.R. tracks, warehouses, car dealerships, etc. So I see this station being the second largest development of the whole system, the land is available, the road bridge is already there, same with the JTA station. It could be a pinnacle of pedestrian, micro-mobility and transit, along with a huge super-development. Or tons of small developments complementing each other. If this study could overlay a grid/plan across a larger area of that little land pocket. The reward with development could be huge. Also, along that surface road the current plan for that station should have a connection to the mall/a definite safe crossing across US -1 to the mall. That mall is an asset that makes this station development crucial. Please refer to other comment; Little addition, I think all the land use, grid and connectivity in this plan is great, just expand the area of study to cover that whole pocket +connection to mall, and bump the building heights way up. not to forget future pathway connections, multi-use or bikes, etc.
