  1. I'm not in any way qualified to evaluate it but most of the transit folks I follow online seem to think Musk is all hype and no substance in this area. Example: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2017/12/15/elon-musks-ideas-about-transportation-are-boring/
  2. I wonder if Bird is even able to collect and store them all. They outsource the daily collection and charging to people that sign up for it and get paid on a per-scooter basis. I wouldn't be surprised if Bird's Nashville employee presence is just one or two people taking delivery of new scooters and getting them out on the street.
  3. Centennial / 51st / Louisiana needs a roundabout.
  4. There's a three-house project going up on my street that's not doing sidewalks because they got their permit in the day before the sidewalk regs went into effect, I wonder how many similar permits were rushed through (they didn't start construction for another 6 months).
  5. From the permit site http://www.nashville.gov/Codes-Administration/Construction-and-Permits/ePAV-for-Permits/Permits-View.aspx?name=079706ac-bff1-4289-aa82-495cb5c14ef6_CA-Permits-20171101_10670806_1.pdf (not sure if that link will work)
  6. I agree with the sentiment about the sidewalk requirements but I don't think those streets are really great examples. They're both only a few blocks long and dead-end at the interstate. Way down the list of streets where sidewalks are needed.
  7. I live over that way and walk my dogs on that stretch a lot. For whatever reason (maybe a lot of roommate situations?), that section feels like it has a ton of cars all over the place. The Nations really missed out on the timing of the sidewalk mandate for new construction. Wish it had been in place 5 years ago.
  8. That Music Circle Virgin hotel is $100m+ too, right?
  9. From the documents on the permit site, it looks like it faces Alabama https://imgur.com/67TwyOb
