Lots of Chicago suburbs have a similar setup with a street on either side of the tracks and their downtown and denser areas around the tracks since that's where land became most valuable. Seems like it's similar on the FEC. Problem is those streets are now major highways and the high water table along with rapid development - this is all in reference to grade separating the tracks.
