Streetcar from the Jacksonville Terminal along Park St. through Brooklyn and 5 Points, down Margaret to Riverside, up Riverside/St. Johns through Avondale to Roosevelt Mall and back again.

Connects to Skyway at Jacksonville Terminal as well as Bay Street and Beaver St. trolley buses.  Regular scheduled express buses to the airport and Amtrack back at the terminal.

That would be the best starter line in the city and reconnect the streetcar suburbs to downtown and the other forms of transit.
When all else fails hug the dog.

The 1950's Called and They Want Their Transportation Bill Backhttp://alttransport.com/2011/07/the-1950s-called-and-they-want-their-transportation-bill-back/

Got to love the picture on the front page of the bill.  It fills me with equal parts horror and despair. 



So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

Wow.  What's shown in that picture is what we need to be avoiding.

This is really frightening.  I see an I-10 marker on the cover of that report.  I wonder what part of I-10 this is?

That sure looks a lot like the I-95/I-295 interchange area south of town.

Not a chance, Florida is green, those eucalyptus trees up on that hill are grown in arid climates, Australia and the American Southwest. However the road doesn't look like California... too narrow, IE not enough lanes, missing the round lane markers and the concrete scarfing for traction in the rain or snow, don't see the warning bars cut into the emergency lanes either. I'd say either WAY EAST of Los Angeles, or Arizona. New Mexico builds very distinctive highway structures and these aren't it, likewise most Texas interchanges have the lone star or other ornamental work on them.
