Plans for traffic calming at Jones and Dellway presented to the neighborhood community in June. Signs, markings, speed humps all approved by the committee. Look for the petition if you live in the affected areas during the month of July.

Other Neighborhoods that are set to Apply for Review during the July Application Period:

Public Works now opens two traffic calming application periods per year—one in January and one in July. Neighborhoods are able to submit completed traffic calming applications during this time. Once the application window has closed, Public Works begins data collection in each neighborhood to determine how they will be scored.

More information on the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program

There will be several announcements, ground-breakings and ribbon cuttings during the month on July and I will provide information via this newsletter feed as the information is ready.

“I moved my CCM marketing agency to Nashville in 1986 because of the growing impact of this music and by the 1990’s, Contemporary Christian and Gospel Music was outselling jazz and classical according to the RIAA,” explains Councilmember Nancy VanReece (District 8) who spearheaded efforts for the marker and resolution. “Nashville has truly become the capital of this genre and I am pleased to have collaborated with Councilmember O’Connell to see the marker realized on Music Row…where it belongs.”

What an incredible memory we all made at the Historic Carter-Smith and Mayo Barn! We had about 50 folks, regardless of the rain, and raised nearly 4k for the re-election campaign. Special thanks to Todd Mayo for hosting at the historic and amazing place and to John Walker and all the Music City Roots Family for producing a great event!

"Even with all its bachelorette party, pedal tavern, e-scooter lunacy, Nashville still offers authentic moments, like Carlene Carter, granddaughter of Mother Maybelle, performing in the same place where she grew up around Johnny and June, Elvis, Merle and them. This is about 6 blocks from our house." - Heidi Hall

"Great music with the percussive accompaniment of rain on a barn roof at one of the family homes of the Carters, all to support Nancy VanReece's re-election campaign. Old-school guitar with progressive lyrics; barns and local brews; neighbors and forward-looking leadership. For me, the best of Nashville (and Madison!) is how we hold on to a lot of the good stuff while moving forward into the future at the same time." - Hon. Kristine LaLonde, former Councilmember, and Associate Dean innovation and Community Impact, Lipscomb University
