Hey I’m a bottle digger and I’m actually from Jacksonville, but didn’t get into bottles until I moved to NC unfortunately. Through research as I’m planning a bottle hunting trip in Jax I’ve found out that several dumps are from late 18 and early 19 hundreds were located along hogans creek so there has got to be bottles in there. Let me know if you end up going or if you already went and had luck. Thanks

It's going to be for LA when we host it. We have most of the venues already. The major construction is for people living in LA anyway so even if the Olympics decides to quit we wouldn't lose that much, but we would gain the political advantage of pushing out infrastructure that needs to be built.

I can add to this with information about Sydney,Some of Sydney’s venues are still in use . Most of the venues have been remodeled to host local sports events and shows The main Olympic Park hosts Rugby,Cricket Australian Rules football concerts and an agricultural show each April. The Olympic village has been intergrated into the city and is now an area called Newington and is its own community

@sweeneyric3 жыл бұрын
This is a great analysis!. I love the Olympics, both from the sporting point-of-view and the urban planning and resource/infrastructure aspects. I would love to see you do a segment on the Winter Olympics, perhaps with a focus first on the 2030 Olympic bid cities - if they all stay with their potential interest, we have Salt Lake City, Sapporo, Barcelona, and Vancouver. All four have previously hosted Olympic Games (Barcelona hosted summer olympics), so how does their infrastructure compare, especially since the IOC is growing in their desire to use pre-existing facilities. Of course, I have a favorite, but I’d love to hear your analysis!
@BoldCitiesProject3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Ric! Two thoughts: 1. The winter olympics are much more expensive because of the infrastructure required. I know that's why they are considering revisiting cities that have already hosted since they have what they need already. 2. Fewer and fewer cities have made bids on future Olympics, with some cities simply dropping out. And it's become more difficult to find places that have consistent snow to count on for the games
@jimgann52613 жыл бұрын
I wonder what kind of impact billions of dollars invested into infrastructure and sustainability efforts would bring to a city without hosting an Olympic event. With careful planning and a commitment to the future, I feel better gains could be made without the Olympics. Most cities that host this event already have international acclaim and really don't need to recognition. For the long-term, citizens would likely be better off without the games. The intangible is the social impact the games could have on it's residents and businesses through the effort of building then hosting the event. Great job on the details and examples.
@sweeneyric3 жыл бұрын
Good points here. In my opinion, hosting the games is also a huge way to show off the city they’re in, which has a lasting effect on Tourism and Travel. When Vancouver hosted in 2010, they used their infrastructure improvements to make tourism and travel more efficient - the upgrades to their stellar airport, the Canada Line from YVR to downtown, and the Sea-to-Sky highway from Vancouver to Whistler, among others.

there is no chance in hell that anyone is letting the swamp be replaced until it is absolutely necessary. it's the center of our city and iconic in florida. the the atmosphere of the stadium is heavily influenced by its design, it contains sound making the place insanely loud on saturdays, so much so you can hear it from a mile away. unless there is a structural issue with it i would in no way support the swamp ever being replaced or renovated, neither would anyone who actually lived in gainesville.

Looks like a great project for Gainesville from both an environmental and community health point of view. I agree it looks like some additional shade would be helpful, especially over play equipment. BTW, what happened to all the contaminated soil that was removed?
@BoldCitiesProject3 жыл бұрын
From Depot Park's Website: "In 2000, a remedial action plan (RAP) was developed to remediate the site and Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) began “The Big Dig”. The area remediated was excavated to a depth of 50 feet and over 147,000 tons of contaminated soil was removed. Over 40 million gallons of contaminated water was treated and discharged. Contaminated soils removed from the site were transported to an approved landfill for disposal." www.depotpark.org/history

Pollution of the urban creeks could be divided into three different buckets: legacy industrial (arsenic, ash, ect.) that would be really expensive to dig out, and might could just be left in sediments; current important (nutrients, animal waste, causing elevated e. coli levels; many of which can be treated by vegetation in a natural floodplain); and the trash you see, that makes people uncomfortable, but which is not much of a problem ecologically in the creeks (it may be a problem in the oceans, so intercepting the trash and landfilling it is nice.) None of those problems are likely to decrease biodiversity, although a treatment for number two, establishing meanders in a vegetated floodplain, does help with habitat and may increase biodiversity and/or native biomass. The McCoy's Creek Phase one does that, and is helpful. But Klutho's Hogan's Creek fancy ditch park was a bad floodplain plan. Hogan's Creek should be flooding into formerly Confederate, now Springfield park and all along Hogan's Creek. Meandering of Hogan's Creek, without concrete walls and fences (except where we just don't have any room to give to the floodplain) would be better for the environment, and reduce urban flooding.) Any of these urban floodplains will continue to get ugly with trash, but that a trashy, vegetated floodplain would be good for the environment.

UPDATED NOTES: - I mis-spoke several times. "Ultimate Urban Connector" should be "Ultimate Urban Circulator" and the "Jacksonville Regional Transit Center" should be "Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center" - downtown residents are also a significant part of the intended ridership, moving around the urban core without the need for a car - the $25 million grant was divided into two halves. $12.5 mil went towards the destruction of the Hart Bridge Expressway, and $12.5 is going towards the Bay Street Innovation Corridor project for JTA - JTA has clarified that the extensions will not be elevated track, they will be at-grade

Thank you for this overview. Informative and excellent visuals. I have been curious about U2C as a major capital improvement (and investment) for Jax. Will users be primarily residents who walk to the U2C stops or neighbors who drive in, park at designated lots/garages at the end of each spoke and “hop on?” It seems massive, so a future update could be summarizing funding sources. Again, thanks!
@BoldCitiesProject3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! You actually bring up a great point that I failed to clarify in the video. The system would serve two populations: the residents of downtown, and those who commute to downtown. As far as primary users, that will be a factor of how many people live downtown, how the park-and-ride process works (parking cars on the outskirts of downtown and “riding” in on the U2C), how many people walk or bike to the system from surrounding neighborhoods, how available parking is in the urban core, etc.

The project is advanced for Jacksonville but hopefully a better use of the infrastructure that is there now. I wish the best for having access to more than the current system with expansion to the areas just outside of the downtown core. Looking forward the evolution of the concept.
