Jacksonville Terminal As The Job Maker

[Timkin]

Id expect it to be 160 million.

[fsujax]

it is more than just JTA.

How much does it cost? Didn't JTA come out and say they needed 60 million in funds before they could even turn a shovel?

the general cost estimates for the plan from a few years back were over $100 million....but in addition to Amtrak and commuter rail, that also included a reskinned Skyway station, a new Greyhound terminal, an ITS control management center, an office building, and a parking garage.

Clearly bits and pieces could be built for far less

How much did it cost to build Clifford Lane Station (in todays dollars, and when was it built)! Why can't they just build an Amshack there until they get all of the specifics laid out!? At least people could get off downtown instead of in Moncrief!
Also, they could do what the original planners never thought to do with all of that space that they had downtown -- build a connection back to the north, south, and west!

The original planners did have connections in every direction via streetcar, intercity rail and steamboats.
