This collaboration with the City, North Florida TPO, JEA and JAX Chamber will create a national model for the deployment of autonomous vehicles. The
existing Skyway will be converted and smart technologies such as dynamic
signals, connected intersections, integrated data exchange, pedestrian sensors, flood warning sensors and power consumption reduction will be installed.

In 2015, the City of Jacksonville adopted a revised Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) plan for the Northbank of Downtown, which includes a specific project for the reintroduction of two-way street systems within the Northbank. Subsequent Mobility Plan Updates and other transportation projects have consistently carried forward this directive and funds have been set aside within the CRA to begin implementation.

The return to two-way streets and resulting slower speeds are shown to stimulate economic growth and increase property values; facilitate more efficient use of on-street parking and ride share; enhance retail visibility and promote retail occupancy rates and success; improve walkability and increase pedestrian safety and pedestrian activity on the sidewalk; and increase residential demand and perceived quality of life for residents.

Forsyth Street and Adams Street are both identified as streets prioritized within the CRA Plan for two-way conversion. Segments of both streets lie within DIA’s targeted dining districts and their conversion to two-way streets complements other public and private redevelopment efforts.

The design phase of this project is underway.

After a seven-month process, a tremendous amount of public engagement and three outstanding designs, the Perkins&Will design team was named winner of the Riverfront Plaza (FKA The Landing) design competition.

Phase 1 of Riverfront Plaza is now under construction and includes an elevated destination playground on top of a park pavilion building, a flexible event lawn, as well as bulkhead and riverwalk improvements. The park pavilion building will include a café space, restrooms and storage space to support the park. Phase 1 is slated for late 2025 completion.

Phase 2 of Riverfront Plaza will include a beer garden, rain garden, a bike and pedestrian connection to the Main Street Bridge and an iconic sculpture situated atop civic stairs that is undeniably unique and authentic to Jacksonville. Phase 2 is anticipated to start in early 2025 with an anticipated completion time of early-to-mid 2027.

This property was originally constructed in 1909 following the Great Fire of 1901 and is considered one of the most historic properties in downtown Jacksonville for its contribution to the resurgence of the city following the fire, as well as its architecture and continuing structural integrity.

This project includes the use of DIA’s Downtown Preservation and Revitalization Program (DPRP) to bring the property back to more historic standards and other improvements needed to preserve and maintain the integrity of the structure for their continuing operating needs. Improvements begin with window replacement and exterior renovations to better seal the historic structure against weather and elements using techniques approved by the Secretary of the Interior that meet established rehabilitation standards. Future phases will focus on other needs related to Code Compliance requirements to make the property more accessible and functional as part of its growth strategy in the Jacksonville market.
