I rode the S-Line today, 11/25/2009. I found it well constructed and maintained. It provides good access for nearby residents to recreational facilities. The main drawback is the absence of a trailhead with secure parking. As I biked from home, about 25 miles away in Orange Park, that wasn't a problem. The is a map posted on the trail showing the next phase of the trail to 44th street, but not indicating that it hasn't been started yet. I zig-zagged on streets beside the right-of-way where there are a couple of sections where you can go a block or two on the grassy railroad bed, but other sections are fenced off so you can't get through. When completed it will provide good access to the Gateway Mall shopping center. It looks like a few month of serious work could complete it, but there is no indication of a plan.
