The reintroduction of two-way travel on our Downtown streets has been a priority in the Downtown master plan for decades. This initiative has been reinforced through subsequent Mobility Plan Updates and transportation projects, with dedicated tax increment funding from the Downtown Investment Authority allocated for implementation.
Restoring two-way streets is proven to encourage economic growth, boost property values, and support more efficient use of on-street parking and rideshare services. It also enhances retail visibility and occupancy rates, improves walkability and pedestrian safety, increases sidewalk activity, and elevates residential demand and quality of life.
This transformation begins Downtown with Forsyth and Adams Streets, both of which run through the DIA’s targeted dining districts. The first phase, which completed in July 2025, includes two-way conversions, signalization, paving, striping, sidewalk expansion areas and parking kiosks.
This work will be immediately followed by a second phase of sidewalk widening, tree planting, and enhanced streetscapes.
Status: Phase One Completed Initial Conversion Completion: July 2, 2025 Total Project Completion: Late 2026
Park Street is being transformed into a shaded multimodal street, seamlessly connecting LaVilla and the Regional Transportation Center with the Five Points and Riverside neighborhoods.
The project focuses on upgrading roadway infrastructure in the Brooklyn neighborhood to boost pedestrian and bicycle connectivity while improving safety for all users. Enhancements include sharrows, on-street parking, wider sidewalks, narrower roadway widths for safer crossings, and the addition of street trees for shade and accommodation of sidewalk cafes.
These improvements will link Park Street to the Emerald Trail and McCoys Creek Greenway, fostering economic growth by creating an inviting and attractive environment for businesses and retailers. Patrons of local retail establishments will also have access to public parking available nights and weekends in the recently completed Florida Blue garage on Forest Street.
Status: Under Construction Expected Completion: Summer 2025
In Spring 2019, Jacksonville City Council approved Groundwork Jacksonville’s Emerald Trail Master Plan to create a 30-mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails that will connect Downtown to 14 historic neighborhoods, 18 schools, two colleges and nearly 30 parks.
Phase one is a 1.3-mile “Model Project” to connect the existing S-Line Rail Trail in Springfield to the McCoys Creek Greenway and Park Street. The Emerald Trail network is estimated to cost $31 million, plus land acquisition, and take 10 years to complete.
Groundwork is engaging neighborhood stakeholders, business leaders, funders and the City to plan and build the Emerald Trail by 2030. When complete this signature outdoor destination will encompass more than 30 miles of trails, greenways and parks that encircle the urban core and link at least 14 historic neighborhoods to downtown, Hogans Creek, McCoys Creek and the St. Johns River.
The trail links to 16 schools, two colleges, three hospitals, 21 parks and the Regional Transportation Center, among other destinations like restaurants, retail and businesses, with 13 additional schools and 17 parks located within three blocks. The Emerald Trail has the potential to be a catalyst for social and economic development in Jacksonville, from encouraging healthy lifestyles and promoting public safety, to spurring economic growth and neighborhood revitalization. Groundwork Jacksonville is connecting expertise, resources and passion to bring this potential to life.
