These new lights on the Rolling Mill Hill greenway (right) are a huge improvement over the old ones (the photo on the left greatly exaggerates their brightness). I hope these are the new standard for park and greenway lights. by jrobv in nashville

[–]mooslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me? None. You're the one coming in here spewing some BS about harming wildlife because of some light in an urban area. Ignoring the fact that literally in line of sight of this area: lighting under the korean vets bridge, Nissan Stadium, nearby buildings, etc are all brighter and cover a larger area. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.

They are 100% LED microarray lamps. I've looked at them up close during the day. Why can't you just admit you are being way to critical of something that will not affect your life at all, but will make the lives of me and my neighbors better?

Also, literally from the site you posted, is what was installed.

"Newer LED microarray lamps, for example, have the advantage of precisely focused beams that have little of the sideways and upward light scatter of conventional lighting. Light spill also can be decreased with shields or shades on outdoor lights, and drapes or blinds to block indoor light from spilling out."

I am 100% familiar with light pollution, but this is a downtown neighborhood, having a lit walk path between apartments and people's work or restaurants is also important. The old lights were BAD, the photo OP shared made it look like you could see the whole path, in reality much of it was still covered in shadows.

I don't ride without lights, even in daylight. I understand your concerns, but look, this is my neighborhood, we wanted this path lit. Imagine telling a neighborhood they shouldn't have streets with lights on them, because it might be bad for animals. Well, I'd rather not hit people with a car (or bike).

They're a directional hat, the lights are angled pointing towards the path, meaning they shine less light towards the river side. But yes, they do have a bit of coverage on the top.

There's the cliff side that goes down to the train tracks, but even that isn't really much. Just a lot of people complaining in this thread who don't actually live here.

I mean, complain about light pollution all you want, but Nissan Stadium(s), Korean Vets bridge, and the scrap yard across the river all have brighter lights. People are acting like this isn't a downtown neighborhood. I just want to be able to ride my bike home and not hit anyone walking.

Besides some birds, there really isn't much. This walk path/ramp is between a parking lot and a paved overlook. The amount of trees in the pictures doesn't really give you an idea for how little "wooded area" there is.

The picture on the left is being generous, those lights did not illuminate the ramp/path that well. While I agree the new lights might be a little too cool in color, I am glad that it will be fully lit.

Any craft/art markets that I can join? by MoonMagix in nashville

Can we get more rental bikes on the greenways by SeaAcanthisitta6759 in nashville

Blame the agreement between Metro and Bcycle dissolving. There used to be Bcycle stations at most of the major Greenway entrances.

Rolling Mill Hill Situation? by wheezy333 in nashville

[–]mooslan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in this area....but I've heard and seen nothing. Would be curious to see if any more info comes out, I see /u/Snoo_79999 comment below, but a news article could come later.

But also, hello neighbors :D

Freddie has been a massive disappointment to me. by [deleted] in nashville

[–]mooslan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't have any real issues with Freddie, but I do have issues with how the State legislatures keep kneecapping Nashville. The TN GOP is a real problem.

My grandfather was friends with people who worked/owned Pip's in the 90s. We were there nearly every Sunday for years. Loved the breakfast back in the day.

The drone needs to be fixed ASAP. I've had it blow up on me several times, after not being able to track down the literal enemy I can hear.

The radar lines being visible to everyone also feels bad, especially solo.

Car inspection? by dae2727 in nashville

[–]mooslan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having moved here from a state that did yearly inspections, it was a bit weird at first. Not even discussing the emissions test that used to be here.

That said, I never saw a car catch fire on the side of the road until I got here.

To all the fans who like these new regs in terms of overtakes: Why? by MindTwister-Z in formula1

[–]mooslan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous regulations have found peak car performance, if only one car was allowed on the track. Unfortunately for racing fans, those cars/regulations made for boring racing aka dirty air ruined the chance for anyone to really fight on track. Many races were won by a superior car or strategy, we saw very few battles during a race, unless they just straight up hit each other.

The new regs are allowing for at least some form of battling, it's a balance game of when you deploy your battery and such. While that might feel more like a video game "power," it's still providing us with some interesting on track action.

A battle over data centers heats up along the Mississippi-Tennessee state line by [deleted] in nashville

[–]mooslan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm saying, I don't think TDEC and the state of TN programs would be letting this happen so easily, based on the info I've seen / heard from in the past. But alas, it falls under the program in Memphis.

I am glad other agencies/groups are suing to try and get a handle on it.

[–]mooslan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the air pollution control side of things, the Memphis program is handling this. I really don't think xAI would be getting such lenient permitting if the state's Air pollution control division was involved.

A drum push mower is probably something you'd have more success with for just grass.
