This probably wouldn't happen if we had a rail spur to the airport... People need more than one modality option to get to the airport. Future BRT on Murfreesboro will alleviate vehicle traffic! #BetterBusforBNA www.wsmv.com/2025/09/15/a...

The Jenkins family lives in an ordinary suburban apartment complex less than a ten-minute walk from a grocery store in Gastonia, North Carolina. That should mean their children could make the trip on foot without danger.

A crosswalk painted at a dangerous intersection. A bench built at a bus stop. Some cones set out to slow traffic in a school zone. These are some of the small, quick steps people can take to make their places safer and stronger.

New bike lanes connect Germantown to East Nashville

Great advocacy here from Meredith Montgomery of @walkbikenashville.bsky.social and Veronica Foster from @civicdesigncenter.bsky.social. Sounds like it's time for @freddieoconnell.bsky.social to take a position.

This @strongtowns.org article talks about the community taking change into their own hands sparking the debate about government control versus government trust. www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025...

We decided it wasn't enough to say NO to the 6-lane design concept for the East Bank Blvd. We envisioned something to say YES to with Southern Environmental Law Center, @thinktn.bsky.social and @walkbikenashville.bsky.social. @kemcdonell.bsky.social www.civicdesigncenter.org/all-projects...

Thanks for sharing this honest observation of the advocacy efforts that are underway for the East Bank Boulevard. This is a huge deal!

Veronica here, just tuning in from the International Parklet Symposium in San Fransisco! It’s been such an inspiring first day in the birthplace of parklets. Did you know there are over 300 parklets in SF?! We have work to do in Nashville, friends.

"The 60-page booklet reads like the Civic Design Center’s long-lost demo tape." 😉

The more land we exclusively dedicate to parking, the less land there is for housing. It's that simple.

Multimodal infrastructure is responsible and bipartisan. This article is a great example of how to reframe critical infrastructure issues for both parties. These are great talking points for calling your representatives. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Bike and pedestrian infrastructure is not only equitable and sustainable, but it is so much more than that. It's safer for all when our streets are designed for people. Our quality of life improves! This will have negative ripple effects. Full stop. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/03/12/b...

not great folks! there’s nothing historic character about cars killing people on roads people have been walking on roads for literally thousands of years before cars started using them www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Honored to be one of 14 elected officials from across the USA to be selected for the Champions Institute. #Nashville #MetroCouncilNash Special thanks: @civicdesigncenter.bsky.social @urbanistdad.bsky.social @walkbikenashville.bsky.social

Our team has attended this event in the past and raved about the experience they had. In a time where there are so many uncertainties, this is a great opportunity to understand the state of our resources. anchorlink.vanderbilt.edu/event/11128761

It's almost time for the release of @nashville.gov's Housing & Infrastructure Study! There are a few in-person opportunities to get questions answered this week before the study is presented to Metro Council. Otherwise you can check out the online resources here: engage.nashville.gov/housingandin...

If anyone receives the Tennessee Dept of Health Built Environment newsletter, they shared this cool article about research on lighted crosswalks to prevent pedestrian deaths. This doesn't feel groundbreaking, so why don't we have these? www.iihs.org/news/detail/... @nashvilledot.bsky.social

Donald Shoup, a parking reform advocate, scholar and author, passed away this month. In honor of his legacy, learn more about how our cities grew into places designed for cars over humans in the quick video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akm7...

@nashvilledot.bsky.social did you listen to our podcast before you made this decision? If not, so glad we are on the same wavelength! 👀 Hopefully we can help ensure that the design doesn't feel hostile... www.wsmv.com/2025/02/11/p...

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding “The Unbreakabke Law Of Congestion” aka #InducedDemand. Via @wired.com

Seems like Senate Bill #0137 regarding eliminating public comment for developments was withdrawn this week. As an organization rooted in community voice, we would be opposed to this legislation and will keep an eye on the issue in general.

Looking forward to seeing folks at public comment!

The Fallon Company, Metro's master developer for the East Bank, has named Shawn Seaman as chief development officer to be based in Nashville. @stelliott.bsky.social

We are watching this closely 👀 @nashvillebanner.bsky.social nashvillebanner.com/2025/01/27/t...
