@completedstreets.bsky.social shared a great graphic about daylighting for safety (on used-to-be-Twitter), so I shared a #Nashville example I encountered yesterday. We need to deliver daylighting at scale all across our system ASAP @seanforfive.com @jkupin4d19.bsky.social @kemcdonell.bsky.social

A simple fix would be to merge the requirements that NDOT has for construction projects with special events. As of now, it doesn’t appear to be the case (or at least the language on the pages doesn’t indicate that)

💯

Send any instances like this to me and I will send in to organizers. Also making sure BPACCis involved.

I also learned this evening that the city has moved $8 million in surplus dollars that had been allocated for NDOT/Vision Zero to elsewhere. Currently Vision Zero has ~$12 million remaining, with $5 million being allocated to Gallatin/Main. Projects with completed engineering will go unfunded.

Been on the books for a minute. Now to protect them…

Enough dust. Time to build.

The entire point of Connect Downtown was to take urgent action to "aggressively advance a safe and connected active transportation network that supports people of all ages and abilities.” So why are we building less than half of the planned mobility lanes in more than twice the time?

NES recently updated its tree policy. It ignores species of tree & clear cuts straight down to the ground. This isn’t scientific or based on anything but vibes. The only thing this policy is consistent with is the report’s findings that NES failed to have, execute, & communicate any sensical plan.

Imma need the preds to win tonight. plz and thank you

NYC benches. What do we think of these?

I ❤️ the Nashville that is not afraid to do something now. nashvillebanner.com/2025/09/22/g...

Tonight, we're doing Musician's Corner. Tomorrow, Bench Build Party, nerds. www.wkrn.com/news/bench-b...

In case you’re wondering Cincinnati is not immune to the cop in a bike lane.

Build some nice benches! I won’t be able to make it as I had hoped but @themanaen.bsky.social let me know if I can contribute more. The Nashville Bench Project begins.

After a year plus of advocating I am excited to hear neighborhood feedback on this pedestrian safety project including the narrowing/closing of a road, better bike infrastructure and safer pedestrian crossing.

I mean this characterization is not wrong

We’ve lost a legend.

Awful…

VZAC Lindsey asks if NDOT has any internal Tactical Urbanism project capabilities to react to needs at fatal crash locations, for example. She says it seems like there are lessons that NDOT can learn from these designs to apply to their own quick builds. Couldn't agree more!

Today the UT Public Policy Institute recognized Sgt. Mike Hotz, Dir. Benton McDonough, me!, Gibson Gives, and representatives from both Chattanooga and Knoxville for "Best Project" - the installation of ONEBoxes and naloxone in entertainment, sports and educational facilities across the state. 🦞

Thanks @nashvilledot.bsky.social! We have stop signs!! This should be what we do immediately but glad it is here.

The danger of a councilman taking a morning run @hubnashville.bsky.social

Not a great photo BUT this has been the best Open Streets yet! The Gulch has been bustling with people enjoying walking and biking and the music is fun and not too loud. Great job @walkbikenashville.bsky.social Next one is August 17!

People love coming to the Neuhoff District. It’s an exemplar of building things right the first time. Let’s make the new East Bank like this! @jkupin4d19.bsky.social

We're adjourned! Thanks for following along. We have a few opening on the committee and would love to have you on the team. You can apply on the NDOT Vision Zero website!

Guess we need more crashes to get stop signs once again…

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

Half obstructed? #enforcement

Help make our streets safer for all road users.

We’ve been working on improvements in this area and others.  I’ve asked to fast track a number of them. Dot should be with us.

I’ve been advocating for raised crosswalks at 3rd and 4th by pedestrian bridge (among other efforts). Glad to see this one moving forward. Also asking about quick build bike protection on Demonbruen near Bridgestone and MCC and no right on red.

Great news!

If you have ANY issues at all text or call me at 615.200.7794. Have security call me too.

Thanks for venturing out beyond the courthouse.

We had a solid turnout of local electeds. Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social Vice Mayor @angienashville.bsky.social and CMs @rollinhorton.bsky.social @brendagadd.bsky.social @jkupin4d19.bsky.social and Burkley Allen came out to ride Let me know if I missed anyone

He’s not a Giants or Titans fan but I guess he’s alright…

Biked #TourDeNash with dad. Great way to see my district from a different perspective including the great cycle track by my house! Great to be joined by @rollinhorton.bsky.social @brendagadd.bsky.social @seanforfive.bsky.social Burkley Allen #MetroCouncilNash Thanks @walkbikenashville.bsky.social!

43 dollars later. Need to prepay minutes next time. Thanks for taking me around.

if you look closely, you’ll see three new icons at the bottom of the quickticket validator that’s because WeGo buses now support contactless payments using most credit and debit cards, as well as mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. www.quicktickettn.com/contactless/...

Thanks for taking me around. Learning a lot. 15 mile ride last weekend and 8 miles today…

Started my day at coffee with @freddieoconnell.bsky.social and just finished after a few hours of shadowing a magistrate at night Court to better understand the bond process. I really do enjoy this job and feel so blessed to get to do it.

CM Jacob Kupin says the bill is "good policy." He sees a "real opportunity here," and calls the state bill "terrifying."

If it’s at a wedding and we’re not talking about metro government does it count? @neilkornutick.bsky.social
