Closing the Equestrian Center????

[ChriswUfGator]

It was a very bright idea to have it out in the middle of no where. This is something that definately should have been in the urban core. Oh well. But thanks for the info stephen

yes....because a horse park fits so well in the urban core

There is as much open grazing land downtown at the moment as about any other place in the city that I can think of.

Maybe we need a few herd of cattle down there, it would keep the weeds down.

I don't think we could rival Pamplona's running of the bulls, but at least it would give JSO something to do....

Second, the plan was not just to build an equestrian center somewhere, it was always to build it out there. It was either there, or it wasn't getting built with by the Better Jacksonville Plan. A huge facility featuring horse arenas, barns, and trailer parking is better suited in a more rural area than it would be in an urban setting. And this isn't really in the middle of nowhere considering what it is, as Field says.

That's make sense. But what doesnt is how they expected anyone to get all the way there? Jacksonville is HUGE. Does JTA even run anywhere near the center? (is it walking distance from a bus stop atleast)

and just how many horse riders do you think are JTA patrons?

Crescimbeni is about to introduce legislation which will force the city to have a private maintence agreement in place before money is released on such projects.

I like him.  The fact that he has a moustache that rivals Magnum P.I. and answers his OWN phone when you call him makes me like him even more.
