FCCR: Transit-Oriented Development Study

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.
