City Hall Plaza Renovation
Gainesville, FL |
In 2024, the City of Gainesville hired JBPro for the City Hall Plaza project, an effort to renovate and redesign the plaza to address existing maintenance issues, create a more pedestrian-friendly space, and improve the site’s landscaping, hardscaping, and drainage. The new design will include the construction of a new ADA-accessible ramp into the Northeast Garden, renovation of the existing MLK Memorial Plaza, and the creation of two new green space areas each featuring amphitheater-style seating walls to encourage community use and engagement. To better accommodate official ceremonies and citizen gatherings, the current flagpole will be relocated closer to the City Hall building where a speaking platform will also be installed.
JBPro’s Landscape Architecture team worked closely with subconsultants to incorporate various structural and lighting improvements to the overall set of construction documents. The project also required extensive collaboration and communication with various stakeholders including the Martin Luther King Jr. Commission of FL, Inc., the City Arborist, City of Gainesville Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Department, and the Gainesville Police Department. Following feedback sessions, JBPro designed the plaza to adhere to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) standards and ensure that sightlines remain unobstructed for safety.
Ultimately, the project was permitted with the City of Gainesville’s Department of Sustainable Development and ensure that all City comments were addressed and revised as necessary. With final design plans rapidly approaching 100% completion, construction is set to begin in November 2025 and be completed in spring of 2026.

Poe Springs Park Improvements
High Springs, FL |
Located in High Springs, Poe Springs Park is a 202-acre scenic park with easy access to Poe Springs, one of the largest natural springs in Alachua County. Park amenities include a variety of pavilions and picnic shelters, play areas, multi-purpose fields, and volleyball courts. Additionally, the park features loop trails for hiking, a boardwalk trail to the springs, as well as a boat launch and dock for river access.
In 2017, Hurricane Irma’s heavy rainfall and subsequent unprecedented flooding caused significant damage to the boardwalk, canoe launch, dock, and restrooms at Poe Springs Park. To assist in the park’s road to recovery, Alachua County hired JBPro to design various improvements necessary to remediate the damage that occurred during the storm. Major improvements included the removal and replacement of 934 LF +/- of existing boardwalk, adjustment of trails and hardscapes for ADA accessibility, removal and replacement of existing canoe launch stairway, replacement of the floating dock and connections, as well as the addition of a small boardwalk over an inner nature trail slough crossing. To provide improved flood protection, the new 8-foot-wide boardwalk was raised several feet.
Along with our civil engineering services, JBPro provided topographic surveying and construction administration services to facilitate the successful design and construction of the project. Our team also handled coordinating and permitting with the Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD) for the new boardwalk and canoe launch.
In 2021, the newly upgraded Poe Springs Park reopened to the general public, allowing visitors to access and navigate the springs with renewed ease. Overall, the JBPro team is proud to have played a key role in assisting Alachua County with maintaining and preserving Poe Springs Park for the enjoyment of future generations.

Florida School District Transportation Zone Analysis
Florida |
Florida School District Transportation Zone Analysis
Florida |
School districts in Florida spare no effort in providing safe and reliable transportation for students making the daily roundtrip from home to school and back. Every year, school bus routes are meticulously planned and adjusted for to ensure the appropriate vehicle capacity, adequate spacing of bus stops, and service to students whose homes are beyond a reasonable walking distance to their designated public school.
The “reasonable walking distance” is defined by the State of Florida as “any distance any distance not more than two (2) miles between the home and school or one and one-half (1 1/2) miles between the home and the assigned bus stop.” The distance is determined by measuring the closest pedestrian entrance point of the student’s property to the closest pedestrian entry point of the assigned school building or the assigned bus stop. Some school districts use the 2-mile distance for their middle school and high school students and use a 1-mile distance for their younger elementary students. Safety of the students is paramount, and exceptions occur for hazardous walking areas (large, divided highways, bridges, areas with no sidewalks, etc.) as well as extenuating circumstances such as students with disabilities.
JBPro’s dedicated school planning team uses the official school district registration data for student addresses to quickly locate and map the location of each student’s home. We utilize public data supplied by Florida counties and municipalities to create a custom network that considers the streets and pedestrian corridors in the county. Then, the team performs a network and routing analysis to provide school districts with detailed maps of the areas within the required transportation distances (“walking zones” or “parental responsibility zones”). These maps can be updated with the construction of new roadways or neighborhood developments as well as the official student attendance records captured in the fall and spring of each academic year. Many Florida school districts use the data created by JBPro as the base dataset for a variety of school transportation software.
Reach out JBPro’s team of expert school planners and data analysts to assist your school district in determining accurate school walking zones, assisting in the development of efficient bus routes, or locating adequately spaced bus stops.

These maps serve as a practical tool to support both day-to-day zoning administration and long-range planning thereby helping the City of Williston manage growth, attract investment, and implement the Main Street Williston CRA Master Plan and Future Land Use framework with precision and transparency.

Cade Museum
Gainesville, FL |
The design and permitting of the first phase of the Cade Museum included a 26,000 SF museum building and associated utility, parking, and stormwater design. Phase 2 of the Cade Museum project, which JBPro is currently designing, will involve the construction of an additional 24,000 SF to the facility, a redesigned parking lot, and hardscape improvements.
The concept for the organization and proportions of the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention was influenced by the spiral of Fibonacci’s “Golden Ratio.” The museum was designed to imitate the Fibonacci spiral and only has two 90 degree angles in the entire building. The museum currently features a temporary exhibit space, interactive exhibits, two laboratories, a gift shop, an outdoor educational terrace, and a sculpture garden.

Vision Micanopy
Micanopy, FL |
Vision Micanopy is a community-driven planning initiative designed to shape the Town’s future while protecting its historic fabric and preserving its small-town charm. As Florida’s oldest inland town, Micanopy carries a unique historic legacy, and residents expressed that any planning effort must continue to respect and build upon that identity. To capture those priorities, JBPro worked closely with the community through community forums, visioning boards, and informal conversations at local gatherings, focusing on ensuring that future development supports the Town’s historic character, provides for its infrastructure needs, and maintains its unique quality of life. By placing cultural identity and community traditions at the center, the plan reinforces Micanopy’s standing as one of Florida’s most distinctive and beloved historic towns.
This emphasis on engagement carried through the entire process, with JBPro connecting with residents not only in workshops and stakeholder sessions but also at hallmark community events such as the Thanksgiving Supper and the 4th of July Parade (pictured above). These connections fostered an inclusive dialogue that reflects the values, traditions, and daily experiences of the Town. With historic preservation and cultural identity at the forefront, the resulting vision plan offers a clear roadmap for aligning Micanopy’s comprehensive plan and land development code with community values—ensuring that future investment strengthens local business vitality, supports sustainable growth, and safeguards the heritage that defines Micanopy’s unique sense of place.
