Jacksonville Transportation Authority (FL) - Report Creation
St Augustine, it’s residents and taxpayers DO NOT want or need this. Leave things as they are. We do not want another South Beach for our city. We don’t want the influx of urban decay

Why not connect with the Brightline system to Orlando? Plenty of people in our area would use that.

In addition, I think the connectivity outlined above is fantastic, especially with the Emerald Trail network. Something to note with this Development is to have as much shade as possible, and potentially encourage/require the development to have architectural features like awnings/overhangs/cantilevered cover/arched extensions etc. That would really separate this development and make it more of a place to be/go to.

In relation to the transit aspect; Leaving space to account for future track-age addition, enough space for platforms, station expansion, etc. should be something to really consider. In relation to the real-estate; I think the grid pattern is good, however, has it been considered to do something like Miami Central Station? Or Hudson Yards? Or Millennium park? With development on top of the station/tracks, in order to preserve space for future transit expansion?
Bear in mind keeping the original station building. That is Key.
If above is ignored and the grid is kept, fine, however 5-or-6 story buildings should not be placed on key, such prime plots of land, this is the only station of the whole system where you can totally get away with 20-30-40+ story buildings. Nimbyism is low downtown, as almost no-one lives there, nor cares, so go big or go home! Side note; As- well as not having to be burdened by building parking garages in an urban environment. That would really be thinking for the future and getting the most return on investment, with the most units and space, on the largest plot of land downtown has to offer, aside from Lot J, or the courthouse. Anything smaller or more suburban styled is just a waste of potential, valuable and limited land.
