Pending for next year, the first step of the public works project would start with the traffic center and bus stations.  This crucial step has gone largely ignored not just in Jacksonville, but throughout the state. The effort has been commended by state leaders who applaud the city's effort to take on modern day challenges of rising pollution and overcrowding on the roads.

This plan will additionally boost the Jacksonville housing market of luxury single family homes and condos within the city. There are residents who dislike driving everyday and are attempting to evade investing in a car or simply don't want to contribute to the growing problem of air pollution.  If the project goes through, Jacksonville Jaguar fans may be persuaded to take up residence closer to the city as the quality of life improves with the traffic situation.

Jacksonville is leaps and bounds away from resembling New York City transportation, but citizens will agree easing transportation is a progressive step toward efficiency and development to give Jacksonville an enviable system of transportation.
