Great read for anyone following the bikeshare scene. I’m hopeful that Nashville can get serious about it in the near term.

If you’re only willing to make improvements to places that have had crashes, you do not believe in vision zero, you believe in vision not another but if it happens again, we can look at that too. The main point is to prevent serious injuries and deaths.

@freddieoconnell.bsky.social and our city are getting fleeced. Metro pays more than New York City for its Communications Director and isn’t getting anywhere near the quality of work.

Thank you @walkbikenashville.bsky.social for this recognition last night. The goal is simple. Build a Nashville where people can walk, play, and bike safely. Everyone deserves to make it home at the end of the day.

"In the states examined in this analysis, a drop of approximately 20% in inflation-adjusted rents—as happened in Austin, Texas, and Minneapolis after those cities made reforms—could reduce poverty by 18% to 26% and child poverty by 21% to 38%." www.pew.org/en/research-...

They are welcome to wonder. But at the end of the mayor and council, holding the power of the purse, passed an austerity budget with permanent cuts to departments then put a partially funded mandate on MNPS. All to save "$6 a month." Austerity is a political stinker. Every time. Take you knocks.

this is campaign season theater. Freddie is currently trying to water down BL2026-1391 and doesn't even mention it in his EO. fuck a moratorium when we already have legislation moving through council. the only thing we'll accept from any politicians is strengthening & supporting restrictions.

While CM Rollin has legislation that regulates them in the zoning code. It is intentional and thought out. So everyone can miss me with the moratorium. I would have raised my hand against the suspension of the rules because wtf and I would have voted no if my car didn’t stall out again.

Even the NDP lobbyist was shocked to see a CM care so much (about a procedural vote that will soon pass) to nearly come to blows on the council floor. Unhinged behavior Huffman keeps saying we're "one incident away" to push more police & surveillance tech and I'm wondering if he's the one incident.
