Well the title speaks for itself...but more specifically how is traffic around the area by JTB to I-95 and around Baymeadows? I live in Orlando so I'm used for it taking 20-25mins to go 10 miles. I might be moving around Gate Pkwy/Belfort area and goen to Florida Coastal at Perimeter Center off Baymeadows. So, just wondering how bad traffic is around that area.

hey silvo
I use to work in that building before the law school "moved" in
here are directions from southside

From Southside Blvd - turn onto Baymeadows Rd. go under I-95 - at the first stop light take right onto Baymeadows Way- go to first stop light - take a right onto Baypine Road - drive around to 8787, building 2.
there are even some back road you can take.
what time will your classes begin?
I have driven in orlando traffic and can say it is no where as bad here in Jax.

I'm sure in the morning to start and late afternoon to end. Does it pretty heavy on JTB or the roads around the law school?

i would use baymeadows
JTB can back up in the mornings right around southpoint with everyone headed downtown
but if your classes dont start till 9 or before 8 would be a different story

Compared to Orlando - the traffic in Jacksonville is nothing!! Seriously! I lived in east Orlando (near UCF). So I'm not just speculating. I also drive JTB to work every single morning. I work on southpoint parkway. Coming from Monument taking 9A to JTB - takes me 20 minutes tops to get to my office! (unless some idoit gets into an accident around 95 or kernan = if going east) -- feel free to PM me...

I've lived in Boston for 15 years and the commutes out of there can be ferocious. That being said, for a place less than a quarter the size in population, Jacksonville has bad traffic.....one thing Boston doesn't get are these freaking trains that are ten miles long that decide they need to reconnect something at 5 o'clock in the afternoon in San Marco!!

Amen to that! Why they have the train tracks run right in from of the hospital (Baptist) I will never understand either.

The railroads have owned Jacksonville since about 1898. Little has changed except the railroads abandoned the Union Terminal that was superb in its day. I remember being awe-struck as a kid entering the four storey waiting room, then to going to the tracks-- you walk under the tracks through tunnels. Its a convention center now, and the train terminal is a piece of junk way up on the north side....Jax mind-set.

hopefully they will utilize the current convention center and old train terminal as a multimodal transportation hub in the near future if all goes as planned. it will include commuter rail (which they should implement now), bus station, skyway (hopefully it will be expanded into the core so it actually goes somewhere...i.e. riverside, san marco, springfield, sports district), greyhound, taxis, and anything else.

here is the times union article:

one on commuter rail:
http://jacksonville.com/tu-online/st...21190086.shtml

also, look for my new thread entitled IMPORTANT! regarding transportation issues soon! possibly 1 billion of our taxpayer dollars will be wasted if city council approves a new BRT bus system that nobody will ride, adn everything we have worked and invested for in downtown could potentially be ruined!
