Laura Street Improvements unveiled

[TREE4309]

  My only concern is that above a certain amount of usage, roundabouts can really cause traffic to stall.  I just hope sufficient planning will be done to prevent a bottleneck.

The only way to prevent mass mayhem is to force all residents of Duval, Clay, St Johns, and Nassau counties to a roundabout school... (Didnt Yes have a song about that...?)

Lol.  Owner of a Broken Heart?

Oh come on Stephen...everyone knows the best Yes song was 'Roundabout'.  Get outta here with that 'Owner or a Lonely Heart' crap!

The City of Jacksonville does not need to spend $10 million on Laura Street for the same results. Simply taking some of the design concepts and revitalization strategies and applying them to Laura Street, as well as the rest of downtown, would be beneficial.

Raleigh is offering low interest loans to street level businesses, providing them with urban design guidelines, and making it clear which ordinances are pertinent and which permits are required, as well as who to contact to obtain them.

Showing an active interest in the success of downtown businesses, creating simple design guidelines that make sense for downtown, and removing the system of parking punishment applied to visitors and patrons goes a long way toward achieving a vibrant downtown.
