Residents committed to having their ideas and opinions heard are invited to attend a charrette – a three-day period of intense design activity intended to produce consensus – for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority’s Normandy, Cassat and Lenox mobility corridors.
The JTA is reviewing transit, pedestrian and bicycle movements within each mobility corridor. Projects may include items such as sidewalks, bike paths, transit accessibility improvements, lighting, bus shelters, landscaping and more.
Residents’ ideas, input and feedback will ensure that the vision reflects community values and aspirations. Community involvement and feedback will help determine what projects will be most beneficial to the neighborhoods now and in the future.
The venue will be in the chapel of The Potter’s House International Ministries at 5119 Normandy Blvd. beginning Tuesday, Sept. 15, 4-8 p.m. with a kickoff presentation, open houses on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 17, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a final presentation that same day, 4-7 p.m.
