Jaacksonville's Congestion

Mass transit will never make it in Jacksonville.We're lucky to have a bus system.It's terribly difficult to get around the city even with a personal vehicle.Parking is miserable,especially for handicapped drivers.The worst area to drive,park,or do business is the Town Center.It's hot,spread out over way too much area,and littered with turnabouts that always seem to be "coned-off" for valet parking.Pedestrians literally take their life in their hands trying to cross streets.You cannot just go to a particular store quickly.I've found the prices to be astronomical compared to online and self-contained Malls. Try finding a bathroom at the Town Center! I avoid it like the plague.It seems that entire area is not only ugly, but a hodgepodge of what should be downtown.Thus,its name Town Center.It takes about 10 minutes from UNF to reach the Town Center.Buses run every 60-66 minutes.http://www.unf.edu/Parking/JTA_Bus_Routes_that_Serve_UNF.aspx
Most of the people I see shopping there are students and young families.The restaurants are always packed.Few shopping bags are seen.Most of the clerks are students.
The same designer of the Town Center must have designed our gazillion dollar courthouse.Or maybe it was a relative of his/her.
Okay, to sum it up,stop electing your cousins to office and let's get some real help with our congestion problems.However,congestion problems are just the tip of the iceberg.It's our leadership that's the problem.
