Found it!!! CM Kupin has an RSVP link. An address would be nice but okay. "You Gotta Fight For Your Right" . . . poor taste? Gotta fight for right turn on red? A right that already exists and leads to collisions and fatalities. transweb.sjsu.edu/sites/defaul...

Update: I received an encouraging response from an NDOT supervisor after I complained.

Email from Marcus Jackson, Transportation Superintendent at NDOT. "Mr. David Posey, I have been made aware of your hub request 02286743 and you are correct Firefighter’s non-emergency vehicles are not allowed to park on the sidewalk. I will see to it that all our enforcement are aware of that as well."

My favorite part of this is that they left in the less savory parts of the ride. Bike commuting is good, beats driving, could still be better. Can’t fix a problem without identifying it

I came uncomfortably close to getting creamed by an F-150 here yesterday. He couldn’t see me until he was basically in the road because a box truck was illegally parked. We need a stop sign and bulbouts here

The most devastating part of Trump trying to rename Lake Ontario is that the HOMES mnemonic device no longer works for remembering the names of the lakes. Now we're stuck with SHAME.

I did hospitality for a long ass time and I understand and appreciate some of the performative things that go into it. But hand-carving an ice block for a specialty cocktail is the most pointless and unnecessary endeavor of all time. Just fist my Negroni instead. Let’s save the time.

… just watching last nights BPAC, but I can’t for the life of me understand why Michael Briggs presented to the commission on their duties and purpose. One of the key points was the “working tone in collaborative approach” And they italicized “positively advance” in all caps.

At this point, it feels like Nashville is pointlessly fighting against the federal government for pocket change on principle alone. While we don’t have insight into the ongoing litigation, it soooo feels like sunk cost at this point. We can build it.

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.

Several people walking, two people bicycling, and no one driving on a wide, overbuilt, 4-lane road

Nashville is music city. Think about all extra royalties we could collectively raise for our local musicians by if we just spent an extra min in our cars during commuting. No RTOR is about supporting your neighbors.

Charlie Weingartner @charlieweingartner.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

VZAC learned Tuesday from MNPD, that even if Ben called to report this collision, MNPD would not take a record. TN State law defines a crash as requiring $50+ in damages. Thus, this goes unreported. MNPD also shared that there have been 50 RTOR crashes since 2025. How many more were not reported?

Charlie Weingartner @charlieweingartner.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

A coupla things here: 1) People, by and large, obey the law 2) No Turn On Red is self-enforcing. One good citizen stopping as required, prevents other people in the queue from breaking the law. This has a compounding effect. 3) This is purely an argument between driver convenience & ped safety. 🧵
