Not building specific, but are the converting Hogan Street to 2 way? This scares me a bit unless they cut down hogan north coming up to Beaver 1 lane. But Beaver is a 2 way street so why cut down to 1 lane right there?

That leaving the garage and being able to turn right is wild. Def would like to know what their traffic study returned. And how did it impact light timing. How many people they foresee using this weekdays vs weekends?

Would it be a only left and only straight or right on Hogan going north when you get to Beaver? How may people are gonna think you can still go straight and bam! Head on. Or no one is there but goes into the garage the wrong way.

Idk but Julia entrance and exit feels better but all going one way and turns. But this garage seems like it's supposed to be overflow from Publix. I didn't look in depth but it'd be interesting to see their garage and service layout as well.

Hogan Street will only be one lane northbound, as a link in the Emerald Trail. From an article about the groundbreaking last September.

The Hogan Street Link, scheduled for full completion by early 2027, stretches north on Hogan Street from Riverfront Plaza to Union Street. A segment of the trail closest to the St. Johns River is set for completion by the summer of 2026.
...
Hogan Street will be narrowed to one lane of northbound traffic along with a two-way bicycle lane.

The conflict will be with the 2-way bike lane encountering southbound traffic at Beaver.

I'll have to review. But their doc did show 2 way on Hogan.

An earlier image in the presentation better shows Hogan Street. Southbound traffic from the garage will have to turn either right or left at Beaver.

Seems like a bottleneck entrance to have one lane in and out on a garage that big.

I hope the discussion around the financials of these projects can come out with solutions that work for everyone.  The work down there is impressive to this point and I would hate to see that slowed with the momentum they have.
