04/28/26 District 33 Community Meeting

The Metro Nashville Network held a community meeting on April 28, 2026, to discuss a residential development project by Meritage Homes at 5683 Cane Ridge Road. The project involves constructing 68 townhome units with associated infrastructure improvements including road widening, dedicated turn lanes, sidewalks, street lighting, and traffic signage. The development has passed the planning commission and is pending city council approval. Community members raised concerns about traffic safety, blasting impacts due to rocky terrain, HOA management, green space preservation, and school capacity. Meritage Homes representatives addressed these issues, explaining compliance with Metro regulations, planned buffers, and HOA oversight. They committed to further community engagement, including a site walkthrough, and ongoing coordination with Metro departments for traffic and environmental considerations. No specific contract awards or budget figures beyond estimated home prices ($350,000-$400,000) were discussed, but the meeting focused on project planning, community feedback, and regulatory compliance ahead of final approvals.
