The Hogans Creek Master Plan

[Kiva]

How does the proposal to close Hubbard Street sync with the desire expressed on this board to improve connectivity between Springfield and Downtown?  Or does a bike/ped connection 'work'?

If there was a bike/pedestrian connection I think that would be good. One of the factors involved was that FDOT is planning to spend roughly $6 million dollars in (roughly) 2014 to upgrade that bridge if it is still used for cars. That money could be better used elsewhere.

I believe it is $4 million

FDOT is responsible for bridge maintenance.  If it makes sense to close this bridge and allow only pedestrian and bike traffic, we can save the taxpayer millions of dollars.

The best way to improve connectivity between Springfield to downtown is to return Main Street to two-way traffic between State and Union streets.  Hubbard is a residential street that receives far too much cut-through traffic because you can't get into Springfield from downtown on Main Street.  Close Hubbard, improve the park and improve residents quality of life while saving millions of taxpayer dollars.  Fix Main Street and get traffic back on a street that's designed for higher traffic counts and increase traffic counts in the business district, hopefully attracting new businesses.  Win-win all the way around.

Agreed, an ideal kayak launch exists near the new home of the Historical Society and Genealogy center at Old St.Luke's
Union and Washington. between Liberty and the (Bay St Pier Park)

Maxwell House needs a 'good to the last drop' cafe _ I cannot take the credit for that little jingle. Thanks Noone!

and MAIN ST needs to be two-way for its entire length, especially between SanMarco and Springfield.

I think the chances of Main St being two-way through downtown are very very slim.

The one block between State and Union should be more doable though
