2021 Bordeaux North Nashville Participatory Budgeting Results

The results of the 2021 Bordeaux North Nashville participatory budgeting are in! After many months of hard work by several local leaders who created the process, more than 400 residents submitted ideas. Other groups of local leaders evaluated the ideas and created the 24-item ballot resulting in more than 500 residents choosing the following 8 investments:

• A new pavilion - with a pathway, fencing and picnic tables - plus an upgraded playground with new equipment and rubber surfacing at Bordeaux Gardens Park, 1490 Snell Boulevard
• An air conditioning system for the gym at the Looby Community Center, 2301 Rosa Parks Boulevard
• Six sets of speed bumps on Hinkle Drive in the Bordeaux Hills neighborhood, to keep speeds there between 15 and 20 miles per hour
• Better outdoor restroom facilities at Hartman Park, 2801 Tucker Road
• A better playground at Hartman Park, with new equipment, rubber surfacing and ramps for better accessibility
• Landscape improvements at Hartman Park
• New signage to designate the Buchanan Arts District
• Additional bus shelters

At first, only six items were funded without going over the $2 million allocated budget but there was some money remaining in the budget. So, the Steering Committee followed the guidelines to identify other items with more votes that kept the total just under $2 million. This way they were able to add two more.
