According to updated Daiky Record story he will also be leaving.  Perhaps this story could have its own thread.

So Jerry Mallot is totally freed up now to sell Wildlight and other sprawl product to retirees, and a downtowner is now at the helm of a significant economic development engine for the region.  Might that mean JaxUSA will become a more focused proponent of downtown economic vigor, or not necessarily?  Is Wallace even a downtowner, or a deal-maker, or someone who comes to understand the requirements of his remit, and works hard to fulfill them?

Can't read it. In general, what is being proposed, by who and what's the anticipated timeline?

Ultimate Urban Circulator (U2C) which replaces, and feeds off of, the Skyway.  10 mile track of autonomous vehicles connecting downtown to the stadium and elsewhere.


And an Integrated Data Exchange, which sound like Big Brother technology to track flooding, gun shots, etc.


I imagine the date will be Stardate Somethingsomething.  They say by 2021.

Has anyone heard anything more on the plans for this?  One of the FTU articles on Berkman 2 alluded to the developer providing details including hotel brand, etc. by now.  With talks of a water park, I thought immediately of Great Wolf Lodge but seems like an odd place to put one.

This whole project just seems like a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

It definitely can't hurt for Downtown. Aundra Wallace seems to be really well respected.

Maybe he can work with Curry to figure this thing out because I for one am shocked that we haven't heard anything about this in a little while, given how realistic the whole thing seemed.

Aundra's piece in the Daily Record today reiterates that Berkman 2 is real.

I have seen people there working this week. Not sure what they are doing, but they all seem to drive F-150s.

It's Florida.  Everyone drives F-150s.

Walked past today... there IS work going on there...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
