La Vergne named as the best place

[E4 No More]

Anyone ever hear what happened with the plan to put a Walmart in La Vergne? I heard it was going in across from Fergus Rd. then I heard it was going in on the corner of Fergus Rd, now I'm hearing they're putting it on Sam Ridley in Smyrna.


While I can't in all fairness blame her for poor traffic planning, I can't pass up the opportunity to join you in whining about this moronic intersection. The fact that A-holes have an empty left turn lane to use at all should be evidence enough that we don't need one. I'm with you, we needed a dedicated right tun off of Nri Shreibman ADDED to the intersection. It's way worse than it was before now. And the mayor has the nerve to send cops to the KFC parking lot to police traffic trying to cheat the intersection after they created the problem. I almost don't blame the A-holes that go thru the KFC lot, but I hate the ones that go straight thru the left turn lane or bully their way into traffic at the intersection. Then you look at the other side of the street, coming from I-24...they made the middle lane a left turn OR straight lane. That makes no sense either!

I believe that the folks who lived up Fergus fussed to the city council about the Walmart, so Waldron took the opportunity to sell the land across from the Lowes, and I'm sure that it was at a premium. That's a better place for it really, but La Vergne loses the taxes generated. :shrug:

I wondered what they were doing across from Lowe's...figured more apartments or something like that. It does make sense for Walmart, but dang, I hate getting on Sam Ridley Pkwy.

I assumed it would be apartments too. That intersection is gonna be worse than it already is now. That's an everyday route for me as well.

Traffic control in La Vergne is nothing compared to the city's zoning issues..
