^ DuPont effort looks promising and I hope the City gets behind it.  Would love to include the old City Hall-Courthouse property in the plans and then connect to the Landing property.  All this green space will greatly increase the success and value of the rest of Downtown if it gets built out this way.

^More of what happens when you don't have a MASTER PLAN.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Four Seasons approved today by DIA full board, as expected. 30 day disposition for competing bids is next, then on to City Council once that requirement is met.

First time I've seen a price tag put on the new Shipyards park.

$25 million.

Looking forward to seeing the more detailed plans.

The detailed plans are the plans being developed by duPont.

Can the proposed plans be done for $25M? They're...nice.

$25 million.

Looking forward to seeing the more detailed plans.

The way I read the quote in the article, the $25 million may include $6 million for moving the fire museum and the balance just for rebuilding/extending the Northbank Riverwalk.  I am guessing more dollars might be needed to fully develop a park at the Shipyards.  It would be good to get more clarification for sure.  Too many times these reporters focus more on attention grabbing headlines while failing to nail down more details in a rush to get their stories out.

QuoteThe rendering shows something else: Redoing the Northbank Riverwalk. The proposal is to tie in the entire area from Metropolitan Park to the old Jacksonville Landing site, which is now called Riverfront Plaza.

There will be a cost to the city, first to move the fire museum -- about $6 million. But the upfront cost could run $25 million.
