Does anyone know what is going on in the bend of Baptist World Center Drive/across from Simply Gutters?

[smeagolsfree]

I think it is probably more of the same, which means those ugly little homes! I have not seen anything major for that area except for just rows and rows of those Malibu Homes.  The area in blue is probably under construction as well and if it is, let me know. I think it is more of the same.

Things are finally starting to move forward for the mixed-use project at 405 40th Ave. North (6 stories, 103 units, 6,000 sq. ft. of retail) by CA South.  They finalized the purchase of the 1.92 acre site for $7.25 million in March. Previously a different developer had envisioned a 5 story, 152 unit structure for the site.  Alex Pettas Architecture and H. Michael Hindman Architects are overseeing design; Avenue Construction will be the contractor. Demo of 5 small non-historic industrial buildings on the site is slated for this summer, and groundbreaking should be by year's end. A block rendering is below, with more dimensional views coming shortly.

At some point we are going to collectively need to agree on what to call that strip between Charlotte and I-40.  IMO we should go with "Nations/Sylvan DMZ"

I wish they had buried those power lines. Can anyone here explain the scenarios where developers are required to bury the power lines and the scenarios where they are not required to do so? How is that decision made?

The developers of the parcels along Division in the south gulch weren’t required to bury those lines, so I’d be shocked if those requirements existed outside of the Downtown core.

I'm no expert in this, but I was under the impression that these giant high-voltage distribution lines are basically always above ground, as opposed to the local supply cables on the short wood poles that can be buried more easily. Those giant poles are carrying electricity to the West Nashville substation, while the ones handling most of the local electricity needs are on the other side of Charlotte Pike at that location. Found this article describing the measures needed to bury the high-voltage lines: https://www.xcelenergy.com/staticfiles/xe/Corporate/Corporate PDFs/OverheadVsUnderground_FactSheet.pdf .  Seems to be an order of magnitude more expensive, require special conduits and thicker cables, temperature monitoring, etc.
