Many are like this one I replaced today at Shelby Ave & S 8th Street. There are no ADA or ped facilities whatsoever. Thus, there is no ADA violation by placing it here. Please also note the desire path trodden down at this stop by our fellow community members. All the best. /end

We have painstakingly placed our benches in the most considerate of ways. If you don't think we are always concerned w/ blocking walkways, wheelchair access, etc, then you don't know us. This is THE highest priority of every single bench we've placed. Suggestions to the contrary are insulting.

People are dying in a war no one asked for. People starve while systems profit. People are being kidnapped by ICE. We don’t have time for respectability politics.

I’d like to respond to the boilerplate NDOT response circulating to CMs and the public regarding benches put in the right of way: Those who’ve put out benches have been incredibly judicious and caring about violating ROW and ADA concerns. 1/2

Happy to report the benches were all rescued in an operation conducted this morning. They are in a secure location, ready for their imminent return to the streets & the people of Nashville.

NDOT removed the benches because ALLEGEDLY they were in the ROW but they're working to permit our benches in the ROW. Make it make sense.

We WILL repeat this mission for our 17 benches currently being held hostage. FREE OUR BENCHES

this old tweet just seems to be relevant way too often

congrats to everyone involved in this shortsighted campaign to demoralize a rabid, unceasing transit advocacy group that multiplies like hydra every time its municipality attempts to punish them for its failures

NDOT wants you to stay… standing

I can confirm this group has been asked to remove only one because of an update to a WeGo stop. It was happily removed.

I really cannot think of a more colossally unhelpful waste of public resources than @nashvilledot.bsky.social diggin in on bench removal. Can we please just not

send them home @nashvilledot.bsky.social

Unless we are replacing them them immediately with permanent benches, they should be put back @nashvilledot.bsky.social

We will not stop. You have no idea how many insufferably persistent people are behind this. See you next Saturday.

I love benches!

i swear the world can't get worse

Brooo @freddieoconnell.bsky.social let the benches go

I am the riff raff

I leave without comment.

So @votebo.com really is a joke. It's not that hard Bo lmao

Severe thunderstorm watch, and severe thunderstorm warning both in place for Davidson county. Williamson is in the watch but it's been quiet there so far. Gusts greater than 60mph possible. Radar 241pm.

I guess I need to be less subtle

Every time there's a whistle take a shot

Yes, I am watching a replay of the Cookeville at Beech game from last night. Allegedly, there were 56 or 57 fouls called. That doesn't even include common violations. I've already lost count.

You could watch Ben on youtube or you can be hanging out with your friends at ENBW on multiple different occasions and unintentionally interrupt his set because they converted the patio into a comedy club while you were chilling.

Thanks to Winston who lives in Old Hickory Village for sharing his experience with the Bulb-outs and why they should stay! www.instagram.com/reel/DVtqOq3...

remember when Metro Council approved $2.6 million in September for @nashvilledot.bsky.social to install and pilot raptor retractable bollards in November? it is now March. maybe the next NDOT director will learn to read a calendar www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Fight for pedestrian safety!

Walgreens losing 90% of their valuation in under 10 years wasn't enough, so they came with an innovative way to keep remaining customers out of their stores.

You could do this, or you can continue to complain on the internet

New from me at @nashvillebanner.bsky.social: Tony Carruthers is set to be executed by Tennessee on May 21. But his attorneys say he's gripped by psychotic delusions and convinced his release is imminent. Court hearing on his competency begins today. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/09/t...

Please if you go to Earth Day at Centennial Park don't bring your lifted pickup and park it on the lawn. Try public transit this year instead!

TSU is going dancing btw! We’re really a basketball state.

Nashville has a history of car dealers blocking transit

I’m seeing mirages of the district 10 council member everywhere today

Hmm @jspencersharpe.bsky.social

Can’t even bag the bus on the free routes. What is Nashville SC paying for? The riders are paying too

should I go to the nsc game?

The good news is the Davidson bikeway is back open across the railroad tracks! The bad news is two MNPD vehicles are parked in it for no reason next to literal acres of wide open parking lots

@freddieoconnell.bsky.social — come get your boys!

Come on do something!!! You're gonna give $250 when you actually have the power to stand up?!?! Wtf

I just remembered that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl this year. wow that was forgettable

lovely

Phone calls you can make to advocate & encourage our elected officials to advocate for Estefany here:

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.

I’ve only walked 5 blocks here and DC is already absolutely dunking on us with the bike lanes
