    This is a prime example of HORRIBLE urban planning. Greystars building and its residents are being completely let down by our city planners. Not to mention how badly that pool view became.... How many feet are in between Harlowe and this hotel, you couldn't even get a paper clip through that? I don't blame the hotel developer for maximizing the space they have, but the city....

    The 1 acre site of the Greyhound Bus Station that was opened less than 12 years ago at 709 Rep. John Lewis Way South (5th Ave. South at Lafayette) has been purchased for $14.55 million by a trust related to Twenty Lake Holdings out of Connecticut.  Greyhound had bought the site in 2010 for $2 million when they had to relocate from their former site where the Music City Convention Center is currently located.  Twenty Lake has also purchased many other Greyhound Stations in other cities across the nation.  No word on plans for the property, or if Greyhound might be relocating their station somewhere else.

    Any word on if this could potentially become a development site?

    Oh good... residents of The Gulch don't yet have convenient access to a dry cleaners or pharmacy, but if they need a $10,000 sustainable diamond broach on a moment's notice it'll be just a short walk away!  [emoji14]

    A Walgreens or some type of convenience store would be much appreciated… could even replace the McDonald’s if that or the Exxon ever go

  16. The Transportation and Mass Transit Megathread

    in Nashville

    Come on guys, how short is your memory????? Half of this crap has been tried before.  I do not know who came up with this survey, but they must have just moved here.
    Buses my rear. There they go again pushing a worthless asset that few use and that is relatively worthless in getting around the city. Another fact is they bring up bikes and scooters when many people do not use that mode of transit. It is not a safe mode of transit. Yes, I am playing devil's advocate here.
    This has been influenced by the mayor's office I am sure that has always pushed buses as a last and final resort. The buses do not run often, and they eliminated the downtown circulator which was free. That was the best thing they had going downtown. Why they eliminated it is beyond me. They should have expanded it. That would have solved a lot of the problems they are having issues with downtown. The only issue they had with the circulator was they had it running up and down Demonbreun which ended up being closed half of the time due to events.
    They were supposed to have upgraded the traffic signals and said they did it under the Berry administration, and now they are still trying to do it. You can only upgrade so much. When you have so much traffic all the upgrading in the world will not help. They only thing they can do better with the signal's downtown is to dedicate pedestrian only signals for pedestrians with no turning vehicles at more crosswalks and make the timers longer.
    They were also supposed to have the deliveries in the mornings for the businesses to create less problems. They have also tried to lessen parking on the streets, but the downtown business owners beotched.
    Dedicated lanes! Who are they fooling. We all know where that idea will go.
     

    Completely agree with you. Am I alone in the opinion they should be focusing more on connectivity throughout the city relative to bud lanes that will only create traffic. The connectivity through Nashville is horrid with the train tracks and interstate creating barriers and segregation. I would love to see more things like the bridge connecting the 805 Lea area to pine street, and connecting CA South’s project to paseo south gulch. I also think a dedicated greenway alongside the railroad to wedgewood Houston would be a desirable asset and could allow more mobility throughout the city. Pietown will especially need better connectivity to the gulch for residents to be able to live there and walk to work.

    North Gulch Gateway, (Tennessean site) Phase II: Gulch Central (41 story residential/hotel, 28 story office, 6 story mixed-use); Phase I: Asurion HQ (10 & 11 stories)

    As of 11/14/22: Looks like 3 bulldozers are starting to dig on the large Highwoods site. My guess is that they are waiting for the Tidal site to finish all of the new piping before doing anything. Are there any signs that the Gulch Central Highwoods project is moving forward?
