Well viewed in that context, why not have NO traffic (vehicles/trucks/JSO/fire/commercial) at all in a selected downtown point? Just for the sake of argument.......center on the Court House and make it...........oh 4 Blocks in all four directions! Offer business's JEDC help with relocation and tax incentives to move? I mean if Vescor can get a ten year moratorium on loan payback............DVI & JEDC can do something about it! Route all traffic around that area and make rail the only motive instrument of people and goods delivery! City could save lots of money by doing this and also increase foot traffic in that region!

Haven't heard anything about this (conversions to two-way streets) in a long time...

Still kicking around somewhere?

not sure the JEDC study ever got finsihed (it sure wasn't published)....but a few of us are looking into it.

At tonight's urban core CPAC meeting FDOT reported that they are still reviewing a request to return Main Street to two way traffic between State and Union
