Is there a technical reason the two poles could not have been combined, or is it a lack of coordination?  
 

Thank you. 

I've always wondered what those black poles are. I seem to recall seeing those 5G poles combined with street lighting or traffic lights at some locations around Nashville.

They’re combining them with street lights, existing telephone poles, and the wayfinding signage. I haven’t seen one on a traffic light yet.

It takes a substantial structure to support a mast-arm  mounted traffic signal display. The moments (engineering term) created are very large and require custom built poles and very deep foundations in addition to thick (expensive) steel poles with thick walls.

 

The costs of building these poles is great and you don't want to add on extra volume and weight to accommodate other non-traffic signal purposes. A separate pole for 5G or whatever can be built less expensively than adding on to the signal support poles.

Thanks! I have always wondered how deep these go. And that's a heck of ground rod

Ballpark Village will be the name of the 2.6 acre mixed-use development on the SE side of First Horizon Ballpark.  It will have three 7 story structures with unknown quantities of residential units, retail, restaurant, and perhaps some office space. Dynamik is the architectural firm, and Hawkins Partners is handling  land planning. The team will go before the Metro Planning Commission on Jan. 21 to request a height modification from the zoned 5 stories up to 7.

I like this project much better than the original proposal by the former owners.   

And if I'm reading this correctly, the gates will be removed from the greenway and it will be open for use by the public.

M Cubed plans a mixed-use building of unknown size and residential units for the narrow 1.1 acre lot at 804 14th Ave. North. Currently, there is a nondescript 1 story warehouse on the site. This will be tucked on the NW corner of the imminent Union Brick residential project and caddy corner across 14th from 1501 Herman (u.c.) and Lofts at Marathon (proposed), to the NW and SW, respectively. M Cubed purchased the land for $3 million, and hopes to have more details and rendering by early next year.

More positive Buchanan Street news: 1410 Buchanan (1 story, 12,740 sq. ft., on .36 acre, built in 1946) has sold for $1.4 million to Yusef and Jordan Harris, who own a bookstore and art/apparel shops on nearby Jefferson St. They have not firmed-up their plans, but one would think it will be retail or perhaps an artsy eatery.  The structute is currently home to a silk-screen business.
