A new rail station will be built in Cocoa, Florida.
June 27, 2010
A new rail station will be built in Cocoa, Florida. It's part of Amtrak's plan to bring passenger rail back to Florida's east coast. Florida Today reports that a site has been chosen on Rosa L. Jones Boulevard. Some are angered over the decision not to place the station on Stone Street, home of Cocoa's African-American Diamond Square district, saying that a station there would go a long way towards redeveloping the neighborhood. But supporters of the Rosa L. Jones site say any location will benefit businesses over a half-mile area, easily helping both neighborhoods. The full impact probably won't be known until the train station is in place. However, the Jones location is only a few blocks from Cocoa Village, the area's Main Street community. In this age of popular Transit-Oriented Development projects, it will be nice to see transit built in an area already served by a walkable business community.
