Jacksonville,FLA,USA -News4jax -February 24, 2009: -- Bus only lanes -- common for years in many large cities -- have arrived in Jacksonville... The city's first -- a two-mile stretch of Blanding Boulevard between Morse Avenue and 103rd Street -- opened Monday... It's the first piece of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's goal of upgrading mass transit to a system that could eventually include light rail, commuter rail, street cars and even making use of the St. John's River...
