Forsyth Street and Adams Street will return to two-way traffic July 2.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Forsyth Street and Adams Street in Downtown Jacksonville will open to two-way traffic July 2.
The Downtown Investment Authority says this is part of a project to reintroduce two-way travel in downtown and help encourage economic growth, increase property values and support more efficient use of on-street parking and rideshare services.
According to the DIA, this change will increase “retail visibility” and retail occupancy, as well as improve walkability and pedestrian safety.
The project introduced new signage, paving, striping and parking kiosks. Once the roads are reopened, the next project will be sidewalk widening, tree planting and enhanced streetscapes.
There will be a ribbon cutting July 2 as two-way traffic is reintroduced.
