Did you See the Anti-Litter Campaign Start on Facebook and Instagram? If you live in the D8 zip codes, you may see this campaign. Please start reporting littler so we can work to keep District 8 Clean!
From Apple Valley Road to Amqui Station to Gra-Mar Acres, hundreds of pieces of waste litter our roadways. Did you know that it is easy to report litter to Metro Public Works? Click to learn about the Hub Nashville system: http://bit.ly/hubNash-MadTown
Thank you Metropolitan Nashville Department of Public Works, TDOT, Nobody Trashes Tennessee, District 8 Beautification Commissioner Abby Eitneier Tolen and our friends at Nashville People Project for a great beginning!

Welcome Music City Solar
Music City Solar by NES will add 55 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy to our power grid and help low-income residents with energy efficiency. Best of all, everyone can participate and benefit. Learn more at GoSolarMusic City.com.Other news on Old Due West: After a meeting with the neighbors, I have begun the process of renaming Old Due West Ave to Skyline Ridge Drive. Music City Solar, the extended HCA Skyline parking area and plans for a future park and walk/bike around the solar panels and surrounding the Bashaw Historic Cemetery ( seen in the photo below) discussions are still underway. The area where you see this event tent can take new landscape plantings for a park as long as trees don't grow tall enough to shade the panels.

New Townhomes at Briarville and Creative Way in Madison
The townhome development across the street from the Shell with entrance off Creative Way near Nossi sign will consist of 26 units, 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms, a few with garages, but all with rooftop decks, and all beautiful contemporary designs. They have not yet named the townhomes, but they hope to incorporate a creative theme to the name, to go with the Creative Way address. The project is slated to start relatively soon as the grading permit will be issued and with the permit, they will begin work. I hope to have Renderings soon to share. Because this is being accomplished without a rezoning, we will see designs a bit later than I like.
The parties involved are:
Engineer - Sean DeCoster with Civil Site
General Contractor - Jeremy Leggo - Highland Homes
Architect - Justin Lowe - Centric Architect
Realtor and representative to Ellington Group - Kamal Saba - Village Real Estate
Ellington Group, G.P. - partner's Tom, Jimmy, Melinda and Walter

I am proud to be working with Walk Bike Nashville, WeGo Transit, Metropolitan Nashville Department of Public Works and Councilman Anthony Davis to make Gallatin Pike safer. Particularly at the Due West Ave. Intersection.
Over the past 10 years, traffic fatalities as a whole have been falling in Tennessee and Nashville-Davidson County. However, pedestrian and bicycle fatalities have been on the rise. #LookForMe is a campaign to be a smarter driver and help us achieve safer streets.
