Mayor Barry's proposal for new Police HQ on Murfreesboro Rd. gets a warm reception form local residents/businesses at public hearing:

Here is the very rough layout presented.  I wish the building were along the street and ALL the parking was in the back.

I don't know about parking in the rear. I would think that for this type of usage, it needs to be very inviting and easily accessed. People are often in a hurry to get there and don't need to spend time looking for the parking lot.

May want to get someone to confirm.

CHS is not building off the coast of Africa.

5580 Cane Ridge Rd on the aforementioned map.

[smeagolsfree]

Many thanks for that. I don't have the exact dimensions of the project, but its somewhat close.

[MLBrumby]

I understand it will be visible along I-24.

2.3 acre site (former Pla-Mor Lanes Bowling Alley) near 100 Oaks sells for $2.75 million.  Great potential.

Looks like it is going to become a medical building.  Either remodeled, or leveled and rebuilt as a two-story structure:

 I'm going to miss them. (like other geezers on this forum will).  But what the heck.  I always preferred Brunswick over AMF machines.

From the article: " and full-access interchange construction could start within four months, said Phil Martin, a spokesman for Oldacre McDonald. "

 

That interchange can't be built fast enough... a welcome relief to the area between Bell Rd and OHB.

Hopefully this sparks some much needed revitalization to the area. Also I could see this area being a good fit for IKEA (yes I know not everyone cares for IKEA so please spare me with the negative comments) since they are actively looking in the Nashville area.  I  can remember when my family moved to the Nashville area in 1988 Hickory Hollow was the place to go and the general area was nice as I remember. Hopefully the area can be brought back.

I think that would be awesome! Hating on IKEA is just the cool thing to do these days. I left Memphis right after theirs was announced, so I'm still a little bitter.

[FrankNash]

^^^ Agree that the IKEA should be in Antioch if it can't be in the the downtown area.

[TNinVB]

I think it would be a good shot in the arm for the area.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too.  That area just screams for an IKEA.  Haters can hate, but even they can't deny that an IKEA would do wonders for Davidson County's sales tax collections.  It would also be a gigantic boost for Antioch which could definitely use some good news.  In addition, no furniture store is better equipped to furnish studio apartments and small apartments than IKEA.  With hundreds of small apartments and condos coming online in Nashville, and with 100,000 college students in the area, IKEA would be wildly popular.

If you haven't been to 12south lately the place has totally been transformed into a busy neighborhood high street. The only negative is the sidewalks are to narrow for the crowds especially on the weekends. I really believe that sleek streetcars running with the traffic in and out of our intown hoods will be the best way forward due to limited parking. I feel tourist would really love to visit the unique areas just outside the city center if they didn't have to drive or taxi.

Or ride a bus.  

People in the neighborhood might also be more receptive to development if there were transit solution.  Parking blocking driveways is a real problem in some parts of town.  It would be nice if tourists could connect to places like 12S, edgehill village, even Nolensville Rd and Charlotte.  One of the things tourists rate Nashville low on is ethnic food, and that's obviously just because they're not finding it.  

[Hey_Hey]

I went to a meeting two years ago with MTA about bus service in Edgehill.  The residents' recommendation was that a loop connect Edgehill Village, 12South, Hillsboro Village, Vandy, Music Row, and Midtown.  Of course it went nowhere.

Wedgewood-Houston mixed use project could start by year's end.  Currently being referred to as 3rd and Mildred, the building would offer 54 residential units, 1,900 square feet of restaurant/retail space and 10 street-level live-work units spanning a collective approximately 7,000 square feet.

8 South condo development has financing and will start soon (Colonial Bakery site).  Talks about the lack of condos being built because banks are still skittish...though we have such a small number available to purchase.  Hopefully some bank(s) will soon see the need for condo construction.

Any update on putting sidewalks on 8th ave s?  Sidewalks are DESPERATELY needed in the Melrose area.  I am a Lyft driver and have heard many complaints about the lack of sidewalks.

Yes...they have a multimodal study grant and engineering firm is hired. Public meeting is this coming Saturday at the Melrose.

Agreed. I live on 8th (Franklin Pike) and have learned that you're SOL if you're not a car or a bus. It's a shame since so much is within walking distance. I'm sure the new apartment/condo projects under construction will have sidewalks, but they're useless if they don't connect to other businesses/residences on the street. I look forward to attending the multimodal study open house next weekend.
