Planned improvements at the airport have created a critical parking shortage, which has some airport workers warning travelers not to drive to Jacksonville International Airport for the next two years. We ask the airport’s chief if officials are doing enough to get the word out to travelers and discuss what you need to know before the holiday travel season gets underway.
Guest:
- Mark VanLoh, CEO of the Jacksonville Aviation Authority.
Then, a vision for safer streets on a day of remembrance for victims of roadway fatalities. The local event at James Weldon Johnson Park honors the hundreds of First Coast cyclists and pedestrians killed by vehicles every year. We look at the city’s Vision Zero Action Plan, which aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and cut serious injuries in half by 2035.
Guests:
- Fred Jones, director of planning and design collaborative at Haskell.
- Matt Fall, the city of Jacksonville’s bicycle and pedestrian coordinator.
- Lauren Rushing, mobility planner and project manager at NueUrban Concepts.
And, the Cummer Museum of Arts and Gardens unveils a contemporary art exhibition focusing on the natural environment under stress. We preview the content and message of Spirit in the Land with the show’s curator.
Guests:
- Trevor Schoonmaker, exhibition curator and director of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.
