Going to keep crashing out over this because wtf. This year's capital spending plan has only $8 million for housing. But state law REQUIRES us to spend at least $30 million EVERY YEAR recruiting the next stupid tourism grift that will make getting around miserable.

Downtown and Midtown had explosive growth in residential and commercial occupancy over this same time period- driving economic activity faster than anywhere else in the county. And yet the entire tax increment gets attributed to tourism and trapped in the TDZ to lure "mega events" and other BS

Giving tax money to Broadway bar owners, just because, would seem to be in direct violation of Article II, section 31 of the Tennessee Constitution. Courts have been clear that there must be a public purpose for the state to do something like that. Making Jason Aldean richer does not pass that test.

Happy Thursday. I've been sick, but it's no subsided enough to wrap up a write-up. TL; DR: NTOR should have a positive impact on accidents involving pedestrians, cyclists, and scooters and especially downtown. Don't let naysayers murky the waters within nonsense. ezra-howard.com/2026/09/30/b...

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.

On Thursday, the state's new joint capital tourism board will meet to "discuss how to allocate excess revenues" collected in the TDZ. They are authorized to provide "capital city economic assistance" to entertainment businesses in the TDZ. comptroller.tn.gov/boards/jctb/...

Bike/pedestrian networks don't take 30 years to build. Stop accepting those timelines in your community. The best practices have been proven & they already exist. Safety should already be the #1 priority. The ROI is unbeatable. The timeline is a moral document and it shouldn't be generational.

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.

It’s even more insulting that one of our staunchest bike/transit advocates just got hit by a car trying to get to this bus stop and is now hospitalized with a broken leg and yet they’ve made no changes whatsoever

It is borderline insulting how BNA hides the WeGo Route 18 bus stop in the very back of the garage as far away as possible from the entrance/exit. And they could fix it tomorrow by just moving the sign. There is an entire unused curb that has benches, shelter, and is visible from the door.

A great place for a bus to load and unload. It is visible from the ground transportation exit doors at Dolly Parton International Airport (aka BNA)

A completely unused curb that should be used for WeGo route 18

Updated routing that would allow the WeGo 18 to use the Hotel/Valet lanes to pull right up top the door instead of getting hidden away in the very back of the parking garage

Comforting or depressing to learn that "anything but a train" is a time honored middle tn tradition going back nearly 200 years? Anyway... I think what this region really needs are more lanes on I-24 and a Tesla hole

An article talking about middle TN residents choosing anything but trains nearly 200 years ago. We never learned
