The Chair announced that the
scheduled TPO presentation was being postponed for a cycle.
In lieu of the TPO
presentation, the Committee viewed a Florida
Times-Union video on the JTA trolley loop system in the Riverside-Avondale
area. This is a pilot program. The “night trolley” provides people that are
out on the town to have a few drinks with an alternative to driving; it also
addresses a parking problem. If
successful, the program could be offered in other areas.
