FYI, the entire shopping center plus the site where the Metro police station is now was all under water during the 2010 flood.

...And the Pep Boys employees had to climb the ladder to the roof, in order to save themselves, during the rapidly intruding waters from adjacent Richland Creek.  It literally looked like "Lake Morrow" that Saturday ─ a real "Mayday", 5-1.

They looked like a pack of uniformed dogs on a bluff, as shown from the news footage probably shot from a boat.  Pep Boys  could be done away with as well, as far as I'm concerned, since they business now is limited to service only ─ no more retail.

Light Green – Extend England Park under the interstate and fill up the flood plain area. Possibly have a small bridge across the creek to connect to the Greenway on the precinct property.

Good suggestions.  I’ll note that Richland Creek greenway currently does cross under I-40 there on the west side of the creek and terminates at the MNPD precinct property.    What is sorely needed IMO is a means of crossing the 4 lane Charlotte Pike.  Virtually impossible to cross on foot or bike in that area.     And it would not be a stretch to build a connecting greenway segment from Charlotte to the existing Richland greenway at McCabe golf course. 

The parts of the greenway that exist are nice but it’s just another example of how disjointed metro’s greenway system is.   Greenways that don’t actually connect people to anything are more akin to a park that you might drive to than a viable alternative means of transit.

The big issue here is this would require dealing with ALOT of individual property owners that I sure would throw a minor temper tantrum with losing their "river front" status * eyeroll *.

 

 

I would guess these homeowners have property lines that extend to the middle of the stream. If the city wants to build a greenway through there, then the property owners would have to agree to compensation in exchange for that access. Why should they be expected to just give away their “riverfront status?” I would expect them to say “show me the MONEY!”

Correct, their property lines do. I'm not saying that there is some expectation that they would give away the land, Metro would have to purchase. What is challenging is the acquisition of a part of each and every parcel. It only takes one person to screw up the entire plan. My reference to "giving up their river front" is some people view fronting a creek/stream like this similarly to beachfront property and are less likely to give it up (via compensation). Metro could also limit their exposure here and possibly just go for an access easement (most likely a much smaller, one time payment) over the properties. This may even be simpler than trying to subdivide every parcel, which obviously has its own costs associated to it. This would allow the properties to maintain river front access and have a greenway on the property. Some homeowners may just ask for a fence to be built, which is much cheaper than buying the land outright. 

I do find it a bit off putting that the immediate reaction to my statement is taken as the government can just take land away, but clearly was a misunderstanding in how my words came across.

The .46 acre lot at 3718 West End Ave. has been purchased for $2.2 million by Richland Building Partners which plans either 5 free standing homes, or 6 brownstone townhomes to replace the 1 story brick house currently on the site. The previous wonder, Jerry Williams, had been contemplating a 3 story, 18 unit residential structure.

It appears that Chanel is coming to the Mall at Green Hills, per the morning building permits. I'll likely never foot in the store but it's a good "win " for the city's retail scene. 

Wow that and the state's first Yves Saint Laurent coming at the same time. Very impressive.
