Mayor Freddie O'Connell is joining Nashvillians in celebrating the passage of the city's transportation improvement program: Choose How You Move.
Mayor Freddie O'Connell offered the following statement Tuesday night:
"Tonight, the voters spoke decisively, and we are finally going to be able to move forward on an issue that impacts us all, regardless of our ZIP code, income, or political affiliation. For the first time in our city's history, we will have dedicated revenue for transportation improvements, and that's going to allow us to finally chip away at our traffic and cost of living issues. We all deserve more time with our friends and family and less time just trying to get to them. Throughout this process, Nashvillians have been clear. They want to be able to get around the city we all love more easily and more conveniently.
"What Nashvillians can look forward to is sidewalks that connect to one another, traffic lights that are smart enough to keep the maximum amount of traffic moving, a transportation system that makes sense and is convenient when you need it, and roads with safety improvements for the first time in decades.
"Tomorrow, we will get to work on building the city where you can truly Choose How You Move."
Mayor Freddie O'Connell will meet with media at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday morning at 1000 Dickerson Pike (Shugga Hi Bakery).
