"I remember seeing the city's original architectural plans and the entire length under I-95 from the Annie Lytle to the St. Johns was to be park space. It was beautiful on paper. Not sure if that is still happening or not."
Wow that would have been a FANTASTIC park leading up to the Cummer (built later obviously). Would love to see those plans. Can't move the schools now, but perhaps some small businesses there can relocate for more greenspace?
What are you quoting?
Forgot to quote - it was Bike Jax here
