SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Transportation Fund Improving transportation is the number one issue facing the Green Hills neighborhood. The Transportation Summit was our focus on transportation for early 2017. It was a presentation to the community which combined studies and simulations to show traffic improvements to Green Hills. The business district of Green Hills has become a bottleneck for traffic for the region; it creates traffic problems for commuters and residents, alike. Many of the solutions are costly, such as the realignment of key intersections, and it is difficult for the community to support one solution or another without first understanding the data. The proposed Transportation Summit collected, analyzed and presented data on key traffic improvements. The transportation fund would be used to follow-up on continued community education and transportation-related programs, such as the Jolly Trolley route - a compact trolley route in Green Hills over the holidays. We also hosted a transit debate which compiled community answers to our survey on transit, and we received over 400 responses to help shape the debate. The transportation fund might also be used to apply for grants to implement improvements in the Area Transportation Plan (adopted into NashvilleNext, the community plan for the next 25 years). Streetscape Improvements The Streetscape Improvements project encompasses the efforts to make pedestrian connectivity a more realistic option in the business district. If the pedestrian walkways are not pleasant, accessible and easy-to-find, people will simply take their car instead of walking. The first level of Streetscape Improvements include: wayfinding signs, trees, landscaping, benches, lighting and access to green space. The first phase of the wayfinding program would provide pedestrian-level maps on attractive, identity-creating kiosks; the budget for this first phase is $15,000 (the design fee is $5.6K of this amount). Educational Programming The Educational Programming is focused on community planning in Green Hills and Nashville. By keeping the community informed with quarterly meetings (formerly monthly) and newsletters, the stakeholders come to the table with a common understanding of how we might implement key projects within our current community plans. For 2019-2020, we have moved into an e-meeting format for a mayoral candidate questionnaire, which gathers questions from the community and solicits responses from the candidates, in order to inform the community on the candidates' views. Another goal for 2019 is a charrette to explore the vision for Green Hills.
