News from the Neighborhood
By Tarek El Gammal
The Neighborhood Association is excited about the many upcoming events in April, listed below, that will directly affect your neighborhood. Get involved!
12 South Neighborhood Tour
This year’s tour will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 19th. Tickets will be sold at the Summer Classics parking lot at 12th Ave. South and Montrose Ave. Please tell all of your friends, co-workers and neighbors and try to make it out for the event. At the moment, we have nine wonderful and distinct homes and two gardens to showcase. We are all working hard to make this year’s tour a success and we hope to see you there giving your support.
Neighborhood Clean Up
The neighborhood clean up is an essential part of preparing the neighborhood for the tour. As our guests walk from home to home, they will take in the neighborhood’s surroundings as part of the overall experience. Our goal is to dedicate the same care to the streets, yards and alleys that our host homeowners will dedicate to preparing their homes for the tour. We need your help. Volunteers are asked to meet at the parking lot of the Islamic Center of Nashville (c/o Sweetbriar & 12th Ave. S.): Saturday, April 12th, 10 a.m. to 12 noon(?).
Detail Neighborhood Design Plan Meeting
Metro’s Planning Department has issued its latest draft of the 12 South Detail Neighborhood Design Plan (DNDP, dated 1/18/08). I encourage you all to read it. Metro has worked hard to incorporate many of the changes and recommendations made by area residents. There will be a joint meeting with Sunnyside NA and 12 South NA on Monday, April 28th, at 6:30 p.m. at the Sevier Park Community Center at Clayton Ave. and 10th Ave. South to discuss the changes and next steps. Metro representatives will be there. We will send a questionnaire to the neighborhood e-mail list before the meeting to give Metro detailed insight into neighborhood comments and concerns prior to the meeting to make the best use of everyone’s time.
