Talk about an adverse effect on historic buildings, you could be Springfield, douches.

Cummer Gardens is the only thing worth mentioning and the museum supports the riverwalk extension. Park Lane sits just to the south of Memorial Park, while the riverwalk would end, on the northside of the park. It appears Park Lane's residents believe the riverwalk will bring "rift raft" to their hidden urban oasis and that's what all the commotion is about. With that said, bring on the construction equipment and lets get this extension wrapped up ASAP. There are no historic buildings lining the river between I-95 and Memorial Park.

Park Lane is past Memorial Park. That would be like them saying not to run it to Met Park. The Riverwalk is a park in the parks department. This would thusly be a park reaching another park. And your name, darling, is PARK Lane. "We'd hate to see someone walk from here to the Cummer or the sports complex for that matter with river views and breezes, and not having to even see a motorized vehicle. We're vehemently opposed to our property taxes being raised by such a damn good ammenity." I could see resistance by the existing towers between the parks, but I think the city, like it has in all other places on this project will work towards an agreement with each property owner even if its (gasp) a condo association. The riverwalk is GRAND. Thats old skool outrageous.

Some people in this town need to realize that the river belongs to the public, not just to wealthy owners of near-by property.
