JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Transportation Authority plans to spend $1.2 million to build a Skyway passenger station at the edge of the growing Brooklyn neighborhood. The first new Skyway station in 25 years is scheduled to be open by September.
JTA filed the application earlier this month to build the elevated light rail platform on 0.11 acres on Leila Street, adjoining its Skyway maintenance facility near the Florida Times-Union’s old riverfront building by the Acosta Bridge. It will link to the Central Skyway Station at West Bay and Lee streets in LaVilla and continue on to the existing Downtown and San Marco stations.

A working group of Downtown CEOs and business leaders formed by Mayor Lenny Curry met Feb. 23 to draft recommendations to the city to improve the urban core.
The group’s lead member, The Vestcor Companies Chairman John Rood, said the panel will meet at least twice more by the end of March to meet Curry’s charge of recommending Downtown improvements that can be funded and implemented in the next two years.
“I care about it because I think if you don’t have an urban core you’re going to lose our young people,” Rood said in an interview after the meeting.
