The march that took place over this past weekend was a cowardly and disgusting display that was incredibly painful to so many in our beloved community. It is another example of this alarming increase in antisemitic and hate activity throughout Tennessee.

Please join me for the McCabe Community Center in Sylvan Park we will cover this critical  project which will ultimately provide water security for District 24 and neighboring districts but will impede traffic flow during the construction. Please come and learn more.

 

The project is located between 38th Ave N. and 37th Ave. N.  The project consists of the demolition of the existing water storage tank and the construction of a new 2.5 million gallon water storage tank.

March 2024 – Sept. 2025

 

We will also be discussing updates around the Charlotte Avenue Mixed Use project update, Development updates and Traffic Calming Updates as well as a presentation from Gloucester Square on its Board of Zoning Appeals request to rebuild its property wall. 

Mayor Freddie O'Connell can see where he wants Nashville's transit system to go. The next six weeks will determine how it might get there.

 

The mayor on Feb. 15 announced his pursuit of a transit referendum on the November ballot. Residents will be voting on a transit expansion plan, but more crucially, they'll be voting to raise taxes to secure dedicated transit funding. Just four of the nation's 50 largest metros lack such dedicated funding today, and Nashville is one of them.

 

I am most excited that this will be focused on what the city can do quickly we can secure through the right funding what the city most needs: sidewalks, buses for more routes, and other needs.
