    Why not a train at grade on Donelson Pk if we are dreaming? I feel like Donelson Pk doesn't get the traffic now to warrant as many lanes as it has.

    And things like that help to make an urban space feel smaller and more manageable too. When you look down a street, instead of it continuing on and on and on, you see a terminus and your eye has something to reference. On the flip side, if you have a terminus, it wants to be something of significance, or and least of visual significance. Imagine looking down a nice urban street and seeing a nice concrete parking garage. Kind of ruins the space if planners and developers aren't thoughtful and respectful of how a person perceives the urban space.

    Just one more lane baby, I promise. Just one more and I'll be better. Trust me.

    We grabbed some takeout when we happened to see their online ordering was active on Saturday. Very good! And closer than Tutti Da Gio. Now if only Yeast would finally make it across the river...

    Is there an estimated opening date for the phase 1 playground?

    What's the update...?

    They've finally started building out some of the interiors. Scout's is going in and I think a sandwich shop. With the food truck lot starting back up a block north, there will be some good options around here!

    Was just up there for the first time the other day. Interesting little mixed use development up there. That stretch of Nolensville seems prime for development being so close to the stadium. There could be some cool pedestrian paths down the hill to Nolensville. Just leave Mimm's alone...

    Could they not have surrounded the green plaza with the buildings? I'm thinking like Oakbrook Center north of Chicago.

    I've been watching this one slowly come to completion as I make my weekly Chick-fil-A runs. Not sure if bad detailing or sloppy construction but a lot of the joints and alignments look to slightly miss the mark. Overall though, it's nice to see something unique go up out that way.

    Oh man the biltong was so good. Hopefully these renovations and upgrades can help to keep tenants in this place.

    Oh the wonderful terrible Hackberry. Such beautiful big trees. Such ugly sticky aphid poop.

    Haha I love that this whole thing is so disappointing that the most positive thing we can say is that the short black railing is nice.

    What a nice solid, 8 foot tall, block long, wooden fence

    In what year was this designed?

    A user on reddit had a good analysis last week of the proposed EV fee:

    I roughly modeled up the Thompson Lane/Nolensville Pk proposal just for fun. Attached kmz file if anyone wants to look at it in Google Earth. Thompson and Nolensville.kmz

    While I was living in Chicago they tore down an old viaduct (similar to what is being proposed, but not as bad), and the difference it made was astonishing. Imagine that, but in reverse. https://chicago.curbed.com/2017/7/25/16022824/western-avenue-viaduct-overpass-flyover-chicago

    Here is the drawing. So unnecessary. Rail down Nolensville would be amazing and would be a proper tool to help with the growth that is bound to continue down this corridor from WeHo.

    Convert Lebanon Pk/Old Hickory Blvd to Center turn overpass? WTF? Grade separated interchange at Nolensville and Thompson? Who is coming up with these "solutions"?

    Doesn't that third bullet seem like a sort of strawman? Maybe my urban mind is to polluted to understand, but hasn't highway building traditionally been disproportionately spent in rural areas to the detriment of urban areas? And I'm talking beyond the destroying of cities with highways that both cut through urban areas and completely bypass them.

    I guess I'm in the minority that very much dislikes this rope light accent lighting. Just seems kinda the lazy way out. Too tacky.

    Big site. Going down quite a ways for underground parking. And all rock. Lots of rock. Takes a long time.
  24. Archibum
    As a designer, parking underground gives much more freedom. With parking in the tower, you always end up with a podium, even if you line it. An efficient garage is at least 120' wide, while a double loaded residential bar is about 70 or so. Thus you get a bar on podium with amenity deck by default. Probably not the reason planning wants parking underground, just another perspective.

    One small correction: Hastings and Populous were both design leads on Geodis. Hastings was also AOR. Gotta give credit to the local designers when it's due
