I shared my perspective on the East Bank Boulevard to The Tennessean. This project should be the crown jewel of our street network, but's it's on track to be the newest addition to the high injury network. Let's get it right!

Last night's East Bank Blvd meeting was a deceptive excuse for community engagement. Attendees were presented concepts that aren't going through the formal NEPA process and aren't on the public survey. This meeting intended to placate and check a box, not gather real feedback. We have to do better.

The most concerning part of this is that NDOT abdicated their decision-making authority about traffic lane striping and roadway safety to lobbyists behind closed doors. We're expecting public comment about this at BPAC tonight and look forward to discussing more.

It is CRITICAL to voice opposition to creating new stroads in Nashville, especially when we've got the chance to build from scratch. As it stands, one of the designs features a 6 lane rd.

Real quote: "(Rose) said he would lead an effort to make all interstates at least eight lanes and to build four-lane highways to every county seat." Build statewide relationships now.
