Thank you for doing all that research and voicing your concerns! One thing I wonder but probably already know the answer to: if they are in a commerical zoning and are being operated as a business, I'm going to guess they aren't being taxed as a business/hotel... Is this going to be an STR setup too? All this housing being built on previously commercially zoned property now has me skeptical.

What is up with all the litter everywhere? Is the city not cleaning any of this up unless explicitly directed to do so through a hub request? Who do we contact to ask about this? I for one would like to see some billboard / sign campaigns to reduce littering. Maybe some enforcement of littering as well, my uncle was a LEO in another city and his job was strictly to enforce these types of laws. It seems as though so many people just do not care about littering at all and just throw their trash out of their cars indiscriminately. It's upsetting.

It seems as though the city may have quietly reversed all the restrictions that were the result of so many angry residents at council meetings a few short years ago. It would be extremely frustrating if this were true. I hope I am wrong.

I'm gonna be a Karen and report it on a hub request. If nothing else, to see what changed with where STR borders are drawn. I was almost certain that only districts close to the downtown core were allowed, and all others banned. The Nations is not near the core of downtown.

I thought this district was not allowed to have non-owner-occupied STRs.. what am I missing?

earth moving has begun on the first half of phase 3 of the Miken development between Vernon Ave and Nashua Ln (sorry no pictures)

a grocery store would be great! however, I'm not holding my breath lol

Is the Toyota Center what is going there?

Sounds par for the course...

100% agree

My main issue isn't with the roundabout itself, it's with the fact that stop signs still remain adjacent to them, and people are blowing past them now. Only a matter of time before a wreck happens. Also, these were put into streets that are not wide. If someone parks a vehicle along the street too close to the roundabout, it becomes a sketchy endeavor going through it. I have no issues with roundabouts. I have issues with THESE roundabouts. And I'm not the only one, apparently. How many people attended? What comments were made about them?

People are blowing stop signs more now with these in than they were before because the simultaneous stop sign/roundabout combo obviously confuses and distracts drivers

Nations roundabout update, the people have spoken and they are not happy. For what it's worth, I don't remember this ever being brought up to the public before being haphazardly (read: poorly) implemented. Funny that the city has time/money to lay concrete curbing for this nonsense but can't add sidewalks or bollards/dots to streets where pedestrians badly need it. I've also noticed a guardrail that was damaged that I reported months ago.. still isn't fixed. Priorities. Also before you start pointing fingers, it wasn't me. My handwriting would be illegible.

This happened to me just now - someone completely ran the stop sign thinking it was a normal roundabout. I guess I should once again inform NDOT of their traffic engineering flaws.

Yeah uh.. the sign.. kinda similar to a "camp" during WWII.......

Follow-up for anyone who cares, I found a person who shares the same goals as me on a committee called "Vision Zero Nashville" which is basically a metro task force to reduce pedestrian deaths. They seem to be aware of the issue now and also are supposedly working with contractors to get all lights converted to LED. I don't know exactly what the timeline is for that, but I am happy to hear it nonetheless.

Thanks. So is the "general fund" just sidewalks? Or is there other stuff in it?

le detroit

Where can I go to look at the priorities in the general fund?

if they pay the fee, does that mean we have to open a sidewalk request on Hub and hope the city puts a sidewalk in? Because stuff like this is just ... silly.

There were some rumors that a coffee shop (red bicycle) would be in one of the commercial spaces, however I walked around and all of the commercial spaces in this building seem to be corporate offices. A bummer. I was excited there would be a social space for all of the people that live in this area now, but it doesn't look like this building will facilitate any of that, despite its namesake.

Instead of submitting Hub requests until my thumbs turn blue and risking my life parking on the side of busy roadways to take down pole numbers, I have instead refocused my efforts to pushing for a citywide LED conversion. Many other cities have already done it, and their cost benefit analyses made it a no brainer. If any of you agree, please contact your councilperson or representative to let them know as well. Also, if you know who I can contact that might help with this, let me know.

I thought the top one was looking at it from 51st Ave, looking northeast. I am not sure about the second picture though.

Sorry if I missed this, where is this supposed to be located?

looks very 1960s modern esque. Kinda like an old federal government building.
