Two major wrecks at Church & 16th Ave N I’ve witnessed in the past 3 months. Church St is a death trap and this intersection is a nightmare. The CHYM Complete Street project for this corridor can’t come soon enough.

Lock in y'all, we're talking about East Bank Boulevard again. The Wasioto Bend MCSP amendment is going before the Planning Commission this afternoon. This amendment proposes a new street grid through the Wasioto Bend neighborhood, including the portion of East Bank Boulevard south of KVB.

Three weeks into September and this has been the hottest and driest start to the month on record. Our average high so far has been a staggering 97.3° with only a Trace of rain measured at BNA. Today will likely be the first day with a high temperature below 90° since August 26th.

This story buries the lede, but if you pull out a calculator and do the math, AAA found that the average American spends $15,031 a year for a single car! www.cnbc.com/2026/09/14/c...

cnbc.com

Car ownership costs an average of $5,851 a year on top of auto loan payments, analysis finds

The cost of insurance, gas, and maintenance or repairs can add thousands of dollars a year to the price of owning a car.

So much for all those dockless parking corrals we added downtown lol. I can acknowledge the net positive of dockless micromobility but when it comes to the parking situation I find it sad that we’ve deemed it acceptable for our ROW to be as hazardous as this.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the cycle track on 51st in the Nations? First of all, a lot of the flex posts are in bad shape. What’s worse though is that closer to Centennial they removed any and all delineators and never replaced them and now drivers are parking there.

I crash out a little every time I find damaged flex posts along my commute and have to file it as “repair bike lane bollards” in Hub. Maybe if we actually used true bollards I wouldn’t have to put in a hub request for them on the same street 2x a month!

More people than cars on the Woodland Street bridge at rush hour this morning. The fact that we just repaved and restriped this bridge to replicate the same absurd allocation of right-of-way is ridiculous.

Bad wreck at Church & 16th Ave N, an intersection I just reported to Hub as needing a traffic light and crosswalks. It feels dangerous even as a driver but the biggest issue is that peds cross here often because of the hotel. Church St Complete Street redesign when @nashvilledot.bsky.social?
