First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 19 of 56 EASTERN TERMINUS OF EXISTING JACKSONVILLE-BALDWIN RAIL TRAIL TO DOWNTOWN JACKSONVILLE (identified as Segment 3 in Figure 10) The Jacksonville – Baldwin Rail Trail is a high quality shared use path and a destination for many bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters and equestrians. Currently the eastern access point for the trail is a trailhead on Imeson Road, 0.4 miles north of Commonwealth Boulevard. The objective of this evaluation was to determine a method for bicyclists to access the trail from downtown Jacksonville. This effort will be discussed as it was performed, from west to east (Figure 11). FIGURE 11 Segment 3 Trailhead to I-295 (3.1) The first major barrier along this corridor is I-295. The most feasible method for crossing I-295 appears to be a shared use path along the west side of Imeson Road and then the south side of Commonwealth Boulevard.
First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 20 of 56 Imeson Road (Figure 12) is a non-curb and gutter roadway with shoulders sloping down to swales and then back up to the right-of-way line on both sides of the roadway. The area adjacent to the right-ofway on the west side of Imeson Road appears to be high enough upon which to FIGURE 12 Imeson Road build a trail (Figure 13). From field observations, it appears only minor re-grading (Figure 14) or a small retaining wall (Figure 15) would be required to place a shared use path at this location. Schematic cross sections are provided below and on the following page.
