Jax Development Map

[Joe]

Neo has been working with mapbuilder.net to add "development" maps to Urban Planet. It uses the google maps technology, but lets you add your own color-coded tags with descriptions. Just look on the main page of Urban Planet; the "development maps" are one tab above the forums.

So, I decided to throw together a map for Jacksonville.

I wasn't too strict with the way I labeled things (the line between "proposed" and "owners with plans" is always blurry to begin with) and I only included the most basic project descriptions in the pop-up tags.

Feedback would be most appreciated. If you can think of corrections or additions, reply and let me know. If you desperately want a more detailed/complete/accurate written description of the project, perhaps you can just include it in your reply, exactly how you want it, and then I'll be able to just copy/paste it directly into the map.

That is pretty cool. Good work, Joe. Here is another map I found on downtownjacksonville.org:

It wont post on here b/c it is a pdf, but it can be viewed there.

Very nice, Joe. You covered them pretty good. I don't see anything off at the moment. New rendering of 8th and Perl you might want to add if you can.

I like having the option to view street, satelite or hybrid.

The map from downtown jax is very comprehensive. It appears to be a little dated, because there are some new projects that are not illustrated, but it's still an excellent reference. It's easy to see how much could be done with the skyway system. Also, the DT parks need to be restored, that would make our city shine.
