It's very likely that the ordinance did not create any additional units in your neighborhood. But it DID create the possibility for additional units in my neighborhood and many other neighborhoods that were unwisely downzoned to RS over the past couple of decades.

Did the election commission for each county certify the election results in 2 days? Seems unlikely.

I don't disagree with the general sentiment, but the National Museum of African American Music is definitely a nice thing.

Yeah, but I also biked from Nashville to Knoxville about 20 years ago via Highway 70, Pellissippi Parkway, and Alcoa Highway. I may not always make the best "can I bike here?" decisions.

I hear this is worth 1,000 words.

Pretty sure I went the wrong direction for a short distance on the service road here.There aren't (or weren't) signs saying the road was off limits. I took it under the runways to Hangar Lane, and then wound through that area until I got to the wonderfully safe M'boro Road bike lane.

I once biked home after returning a rental minivan at the airport. It wasn't at all easy (surprise), but it was technically possible. Not sure if that's still true.

Average daily traffic on I-40 @ BNA per TDOT numbers is ~170,000. Removing 205 cars per day (75,000/365) is a 0.12% reduction in I-40 traffic. Big sounding numbers aren't always significant.

See the latter part of this Scene article by Bill Carey for some excellent background on VU's acquisition of the to-be developed property. The land is a rare example of property taken by force on this side of town. www.nashvillescene.com/news/a-city-...
A City Swept Clean
Three decades after the end of urban renewal in Nashville, those two words can still start an argument. Some historic preservationists blame urban renewal for the destruction of entire neighborhoods

I would actually be 100% OK with this IF, and only IF it was paired with completing the 3rd Ave bike lanes that were promised 5+ years ago.

Are you sure there's paint in the can? I'm predicting they're going to take an empty can, turn it over, and place it over the broken post.

Basically, the state of Tennessee's "solutions" for traffic congestion are a special lane on the interstate for rich people "Choice Lanes", and a special tunnel under the interstate for rich people.

IF, and that's a big IF, a digital sign is approved, it must be at pedestrian level. This proposed sign is designed for cars only. Downtown ain't a suburban shopping district. @jkupin4d19.bsky.social

Thank goodness we're finally focusing on important issues like this instead of the 50% rise in pedestrian deaths in the US while they've declined by 25% across the rest of the world. tinyurl.com/mr2ym2bu

In this analogy tariffs are like eating a 1/2 gallon of ice cream every day. Stop doing that ("push down the thing we can control") and your weight stops going up. Or, bear with me here: don't do the stupid thing in the first place.

Been a little more than 15 years, but the Downtown Code.

Not true. (Not as funny as it could be since I couldn't get Chatgpt to fix all the frames, but you get the idea. (I'm cheap and won't pay for premium AI)

I'm sure somebody else has said or will say this, but aren't we missing an opportunity? Attorneys like me, who detest this racist administration should apply for these jobs and then refuse to order deportation.
