Don't forget he hot dog vendor carts on the Main St bridge.

Wow Jacksonville would really benefit from a redesign like that. It would make the North and Southbank river walks amazing. And poeple would actually like to go to downtown Jacksonville to hang out, and even live.

Ohhhh...Mattius92...you have no idea what you may start with a comment like the above. Obviously you werent around when this plan was first introduced. haha

What was the Harbor Master's House in the Big Idea--actual relocation of a historic house (the yellow one pictured, I presume)?  Other than the paint color that looks like some sort of cross-breed of the Broward house on Heckscher and St. Luke's.

Sidewalks have ALWAYS attracted me, in fact I LOVE SIDEWALKS, hell, I've woken up on some of the best of them!

Oh, I'm very familiar with the Big Nightmare.. err Idea 

I've seen some ideas come across my desk over the years... I'm glad that one never did.

[Mattius92]

You poeple...

Hey I am current with events from around 2007 to now, anything older then that is like unknown to me.

And yall dont like to walk along the river, I didn't say it was going to be an everyday thing, but come on, if there is things to do along our river. Hell I am going to do it.

Take Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Its on water it is walkable, and its totally amazing. Dont see anything like that here, but it dont mean it cant happen.

Also Tampa's TECO Streetcar line is SWEEET. USF is looking more and more appealing everyday.

I wish they would take the money for the garage and update the landing instead.  

[Wacca Pilatka]

That looks disturbingly real 

And it took me a disturbingly long time to get the Fox Leeman joke.  My goodness does my brain go on autopilot when tax season ends.

Sleiman plans to do some updating once he has the ability (dedicated parking) to land anchor tenants.

[TheProfessor]

I hope so.  It will take a lot of work to get the Landing into the 21st century, but I'm sure Sleiman has deep pockets.

Haha...you and me both, Wacca.

I sure hope so....but think the reality is Sleiman will update only once he has the anchor tenants

[thelakelander]

Okay. Either way we'll be collecting money that can be invested back into the city that's not being collected now.

[TheProfessor]

Yes.  Any development is a step in the right direction!
