Public meetings were held at St. Ann's Episcopal Church, a walking tour of the site was organized, and an Urban Design Forum was dedicated to the issue. Present at these meetings were concerned citizens, Metro Officials, Metro Staff and Civic Design Center Staff.

The proposal from the Germantown group asked the Civic Design Center to develop a strategy that goes beyond the boundaries of historic Germantown, involves businesses in the area, identifies land use possibilities, identifies existing and potential links to and through the area, especially pedestrian, and integrates the Werthan and Neuhoff sites, the Metro Greenway and the Cumberland River. In its research and through community meetings, the Civic Design Center focused on the opportunity for considering the individual neighborhoods as a community and building necessary links. http://www.sitemason.com/files/dFLdwA/proj_germ.jpg/main.jpg http://www.civicdesigncenter.org/projects/neighborhoods/2009/03/30/buena-vista-east-germantown-germantown-hope-gardens-salemtown.9411 http://www.civicdesigncenter.org/projects/neighborhoods/2009/03/30/buena-vista-east-germantown-germantown-hope-gardens-salemtown.9411 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:03:00 CDT Neighborhood Studies At the request of the Trimble Action Group (TAG) the Nashville Civic Design Center conducted a study of the Chestnut Hill Neighborhood (Cameron Trimble), the wedge shaped study area lies to the south of Interstate I-40 and Lafayette Avenue, north of the railroad tracks, and to the west of Trevecca Nazerene University.
