26 days out from the Jacksonville Food Truck Championship. Imagine those trucks on the Pier?

Bay St. Pier Park has anyone walked next to this potential Urban Cluster of Organic activity that Khan happen if Bay St. Pier Park is immediately included in the plan.

There is a legislative window that is closing. Redman do something!!!!!!!!!!!

The issue will escalate throughout the state.

I am Downtown. And why you aren't

^ Funny that did cross my mind also. I thought it would be great if the City at least allowed certain events on that piece of property. Live music and the Food Truck Championship would have been a great fit I think. It'd be nice if we could put together some kind of regular Sunday Funday event there. Food, drinks and live music...

Comncense, You have nailed it! The Pier would be an immediate Downtown River Destination.

Spoke to Scott Wilson Dist.4 assistant for Don Redman and told him about the letter of support that will be coming from the St. Johns Riverkeeper after her appearance before the Urban Core CPAC meeting last night.

Scott is also going to be attending the RFA Recreational Fishing Alliance rally that is at Sneakers at 9A and Baymeadows and starts in an hour. Councilman Redman has the legislative power to do something. Will he? Like the success of the Food Trucks Don Redman can be the biggest hero in the state of Florida. The Governor is aware of the issue as well as the commissioners of FIND.

Also another special subcommittee meeting of the the Jacksonville Waterways Commission tomorrow at 9:30  4th floor city hall on the artificial reefs. Open to the Public

Epoch opportunity to reclaim access to our Historic Promised 680' Downtown Public Pier in 3 hours at the Jacksonville Waterways Commission meeting. Emergency Legislation NOW. Please.

Jacksonville Waterways Commission members and MJ'ers are in shock and disbelief that the floating dock at RAM is only allowed to be used when RAM is opened. Epoch concern.

Now, with the creation of a new Downtown Authority the potential closure of river access within the Epoch Zone should be a Huge Red Flag and the Governor, Mayor, Jacksonville City council, Commissioners of FIND, Our Regional Partners, the Jacksonville Waterways Commission should immediately introduce legislation that would insure the people of Jacksonville and the state of Florida that we will all have the opportunity to continue to Preserve, Promote, Access, and Celebrate our St. Johns River our American Heritage River a Federal Initiative.

Councilman Redman. Do something. He has the Barton memo. He has the legislative power.

Be concerned.

Hey ! Lets all be Downtown. The Pier can be the free parking on the Monopoly Board. What is wrong with that? Anyone?

Epoch Jacksonville Waterways Commission meeting in 4 1/2 hours to reclaim access to our St. Johns River our American Heritage River a Federal Initiative within our new DIA Downtown Investment Authority. 2012-212, 2012-213

Free Parking
Free Docking

Spoke with Don Shea after the city council workshop on 2012-212 and 2012-213 and any council member can attach an amendment to keep the Historic Promised 680' Downtown Public Pier separate. Everything is on the table right now. This is the opportunity for amendments.

Obviously it won't be Redman. But then again he is the chair of Waterways and in 4 1/2 hours he is still the chair of Waterways and is in a legislative position to Make It Happen. What a lob pitch. Scott, you read this forum all the time. Knock it out of the park.

Its Epoch!

MJ'ers had a call from councilman Gaffney today and he is ALL IN on the pier! He wants a noticed meeting and would like Redman to be there. Somebody, Anybody try contacting Redman.

Welcome any guidance in how to move the legislative process forward and restoring the Public Trust especially as it relates to our Waterways.
