In May 1903, the Council granted an addition to the franchise allowing a line east on State to Washington to Jessie, terminating at Talleyrand Avenue in the Oakland neighborhood.
The city franchise required that the lines be completed within a year of the amended ordinance, but money problems delayed the extension to Oakland.
[9][10] Robinson then incorporated the Atlantic & Pacific Street Railway and Securities Company in New Jersey to take over the North Jacksonville and complete the lines.
[11][12] This effort failed and the company was eventually sold to Telfair Stockton and his associates, thus passing out of control of the black community.
The black community relied heavily on the former North Jacksonville lines, and they were among the last routes to be abandoned, in December 1936.
