@jerewoo.bsky.social asked if we are going to pilot transit only lanes anywhere in Nashville before EBB is built.

Director Alarcon says we should have at least a few pilots on that in other places within the next year or so, which can inform the EBB transit design

Main/Gallatin project is in engineering design right now. NDOT is very close to finalizing ROW acquisition plans for that one which will feature bus lanes, one car lane each direction, and protected bike lanes!

If this project actually ever happens that bike lane will be packed. Students, tourists, commuters. I’ll keep my fingers crossed

Next up: 9th Avenue bike lane removal.

Diana is explaining in exquisite detail how transit will work with the ConnectDowntown plan. Apparently we piloted a transit only configuration to show TDOT it won’t have adverse impacts on the state route.

8th Ave will then become a transit priority corridor, where there is currently lots of loading zones.

So the loading zones are now heading to 9th Ave, taking the place of the bike lane that was installed by a private developer as part of their SP rezoning agreement.

Has anyone talked to the developer who put out their own money and then we wiped it away?

Also quick fact check: there is exactly one signed loading zone on 8th right now - right in front of the Standard.

She’s says the number one job following the CHYM vote is making transit work.

Says there is a lot of hope for adding things like bike lanes back as redevelopment allows for less on street space requirement for loading and valet.

We are going over time and Diana is being very gracious with her time. She works hard, y’all!

But I’m done posting for tonight. If you’re still following along, just come to the next meeting!
