The Jacksonville Landing: Catch All Discussion

[thelakelander]

^Of course.  The Landing was developed by Rouse.  Rouse developed Faneuil Hall, Baltimore's Harborplace and the rest of the 1980s festival marketplaces.  The marketplaces in the first tier urban centers typically did better than those in second tier cities such as Jacksonville, Norfolk, Toledo, and Richmond.  To the Landing's credit, it's still around.  A good number of them have already been converted into other uses or outright demolished.

I cannot at this moment put my fingers on the notes taken during a round tabling involving a combination of ideas to better connect the pedestrian access to Riverwalks on BOTH sides of the St.Johns.

Freight elevators up to the Main St. bridge from the Landing/Hyatt/Daniels garage allowing active folks to enjoy a stroll to and from Friendship park, anyone?

I know that from the area of the new roundabout at Laura/Independent, a slow gradual ascent is possible, but for temporary tourists who have walked to the Landing from Riverside, along the river's edge, and for the sake of ADA compliance, why not install an open-air bare bones lift up to the sidewalk of the big blue bridge?
