Riverside Avondale Night Trolley Launch This Weekend

[Tacachale]

^Killer drop in. So now we know Metro Jax's own version of the Time Cube guy can't conceive of a world where Riverside residents walk a few blocks to a bus stop. Being 50 Feet Away From Car is EDUCATED STUPID. Not driving at all times reject FOUR SIMULTANEOUS DAYS EARTH ROTATION and is EVIL LIE. PiIZZA IS EVIL LIE.

Indeed, comments were not oriented "where Riverside residents walk"......more related to relatively far away outside Avondale reaches............hello?....hey can you hear this potential/assumed Trolley customer base....... helo?......sorry,weak or no signal

It's official.
No future land use/rezone applications under curtained assumed "Parking" 'mitigation/alleviation' "Experiment "
should reasonably prevail.

I witnessed your first posts,some 4,000 + ago.

Luckily I have been absent MJ view for long stretches.

You,Tach, are clearly stretched.

Good for "views". Perhaps.

It's official.
No future RAP land use/rezone applications under curtain assumed "Parking" 'mitigation/alleviation' "Experiment "
should reasonably prevail during the relative future.

I love a certain Central Californian town Trolleys! So glad to have experienced!"Real"

Now we see certain Miami Fla moves to push for re-zone sans "Parking requirement".First ever for Miami, 20+ years ahead of us.
Don't ever forget the "Ahead" aspect.

This thread just keeps getting stranger...

How much of OPM have yall lost on this failed experiment?

[Josh]

Any word on how Christmas in Avondale will impact the trolley on Saturday, Mike?

[fieldafm]

Obviously, the trolley will be the best way to get to Christmas in Avondale.

JTA will be modifying the route, to come close to St Johns Ave instead of through St Johns Ave through the Shoppes of Avondale. I don't exactly know the route modification yet. Hopefully will know tomorrow for sure.

I love the trolley and have ridden it almost every month it has been in operation, but the app is not working tonight, and everyone at every stop is complaining about it. I really miss the app.

Trolley running every weekend starting in March:


The Riverside Avondale Night Trolley is about to become the latest fixture in Jacksonville's nightlife, with weekly service beginning March 4.
The trolley, operated by the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, had been running on a monthly basis, but will now run every weekend from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

Dang, that's awesome!

[johnnyliar]

So stoked for this!
Now if they would just have a stop in Murray Hill so I wouldn't have to bike out of the neighborhood to get on.

[Tacachale]

Wow, so bus connections to Downtown and San Marco? Do you have to go through Rosa Parks to transfer?

[Steve]

To Downtown you wouldn't - both the Trolley and Route 5 Stops at Five Points and Park/King. Route 5 doesn't have nearly the trolley's headways later in the evening though. Last Bus leaves Park/King North @ about 11:30PM, and Last Bus leaves Downtown about the same time.

To San Marco you'd have to transfer, so if you went from the trolley it would be two transfers - unlikely anyone is going to do that versus an Uber.

[ProjectMaximus]

This is awesome! Progress! I cant find any info on the JTA website unfortunately. Also, despite the progress I really wish we were closer to connecting all of the core (including MH, Springfield, and San Marco)

[Steve]

It's on the front page - scroll down to the news releases towards the bottom.

Agreed on the core. Besides Downtown, I think Murray Hill is the obvious one - it's separated only by Roosevelt Blvd.
