Also, it seems that they're focusing a great deal on making the area much more pedestrian friendly. Anyone have any ideas how that will effect the area and businesses surrounding the park and convention center?
This basically looks like I can walk to the new park from my apartment (I cross that intersection to go to Publix all the time. maybe a block away), assuming sidewalks go all the way up Destination. Huge boon for Vista Cay right behind me; I'm wondering if some of the developers behind the newer apartment complexes on Universal now wish they built hotels instead. Restaurants by that Publix are going to do gangbusters, not that they struggle now. There's still some land fronting onto Universal for sale in the area, curious who else buys in.
I'm also more curious now if the train station is a go. This could largely be to make UCF Rosen more accessible from a station sitting next to the new park. Pure speculation, I don't know that to be the case.
