Council Passes Mobility Plan Unanimously.

[TheCat]

For whatever reasons, our council finally did something right.

Tonight they unanimously passed Bill Killingsworth's sprawl killing Mobility Plan.

This is one huge step to putting the city on a sustainable basis.

Wow, that is exciting.

This is one heck of an achievement for our City Planning Department. Kudos to Bill Killingsworth, a brilliant man.

So according to the previous metjax article, there's to be a streetcar starter line operational within the next 5 years??

Figure E-5 highlights the projects that will receive funding during the mobility fee's first five years of implementation.  To give Jacksonville a realistic chance at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles traveled, as well as encouraging transit friendly development, a viable mass transit system becomes a high priority.  With this in mind, commuter rail and streetcar starter lines have been included within the Five Year CIE.

Good news.

[iMarvin]

That also means a commuter rail line down to the Avenues, right?

All of this exciting Jacksonville news would be happening when the world is about to end...

[fsujax]

We need development to occur to actually fund these projects!

[JeffreyS]

We can not do enough to promote and help fund these projects.  This is perfect timing with a new Mayor who has time to realize this as one of his legacy projects.

No, we've got until 21 October (or whenever Camping decides he's made another "error". I guess he didn't get a Math degree!)
