So what do these areas have in common?

These areas also have the potential to get worse by having that rail transit option taken away by the shortsightedness of city officials and transportation planning agencies. In five weeks, the City of Jacksonville will break ground on converting the S-Line into a jogging path. $1.2 million is the estimated cost of the first phase of Jacksonville's newest 12' rails-to-trails project.
