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.

Make some NOISE!!
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.

This just f***ing sucks. Seeing what otherwise would be awesome "missing middle" housing built, but then offered entirely to investors for STR is so frustrating. I know that this sort of thing is only a small part of the problem with housing affordability and availability in Nashville, but it's maddening.
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.

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

Finally! Can't wait for the ugly, empty, fenced-off pavement to be replaced with ground level retail (though this would be the perfect location for a neighborhood grocery store). Also excited to have a sidewalk on that side of Centennial/51st now that they've added proper crossings at that intersection.
a grocery store would be great! however, I'm not holding my breath lol

Toyota Quick Service Center (1-2 stories) update: former gas station razed, fencing up.
Looking NE from intersection of Delaware Ave. and 46th Ave. North:
Is the Toyota Center what is going there?

I don't think it was super specific about what was going to be built, more like "of traffic calming options, what sort of things would you like, and where?"
Sounds par for the course...

There could be some statewide PSAs to instruct how to drive thru roundabouts. We have many roundabouts here. They’ve been here over a decade. Just this morning I was behind someone who stopped at one when there were no other cars entering from the other 3 sides. And it was a young person… but from Bradley county. I know it happens a lot with sr. citizens who get nervous if things appear to move too fast.
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.3 minutes ago, GregH said:I actually went to a public comment session on this. In...2019. It was held at Fat Bottom.
How many people attended? What comments were made about them?

One’s priorities might be different than someone else’s. Not every little wrong can be corrected at once, maybe in Metro’s opinion this roundabout was needed to slow down traffic or stop people from blowing a stop sign. We all have gripes and grievances that we would like addressed, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a priority.
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.

A point of confusion for me is that they're not standard roundabouts - the stop signs in two of four directions have been maintained, so the normal rules for entering a roundabout don't seem to apply.
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.

Interior of RiverWalk and new bikeway signage. My friend stated that the interior parking area and buildings looked like a detention camp!
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.

I think this is still basically true about how projects are evaluated https://wpln.org/post/how-nashville-decides-where-to-put-sidewalks/
And you can see active projects here https://cfms.nashville.gov/Sidewalks/Home/InteractiveMap
And I think near-term planned projects are listed in this (long) Walknbike doc https://www.nashville.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/NDOT_WalknBikePlan2022_2022.08.26.pdf?ct=1666110014
Thanks. So is the "general fund" just sidewalks? Or is there other stuff in it?

Unfortunately the fees go into a general fund that already has its own priorities.
Where can I go to look at the priorities in the general fund?

The bigger projects are getting them but it seems like some of the tall skinnys are paying the fee instead, plus a huge chunk of the "new" houses were built before the requirement. There's a good long stretch complete on Centennial now though!
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.

Arcade on Vernon (3 stories, 60 units, ground level retail) update: exterior nearly complete.
Looking SW from Vernon Ave., 1/3 block south of James Ave:
Looking NW from Vernon Ave., 1/2 block south of James Ave:
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.

Is the top rendering looking from the Tennessee Ave side and the bottom one from the Centennial side? Those were my guesses based on the empty lot and parking lot locations, but the road geometry and masking of 51st deli make it a little challenging.
I thought the top one was looking at it from 51st Ave, looking northeast. I am not sure about the second picture though.

Also the Lloyd under construction looks like this.
It's a shame because there are some gems mixed in there and in Cherokee Park, not to mention the institutions like West End Middle and MBA (their latest addition notwithstanding)
looks very 1960s modern esque. Kinda like an old federal government building.

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.
