The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) is announcing a total of 25 newly selected neighborhood street traffic calming projects to begin in the coming weeks. Residents will now proceed with a collaborative community-led design process to enhance safety and quality of life on their neighborhood streets, in line with Nashville’s commitment to being a Vision Zero city.
“We’re committed to Vision Zero, and to collaborating with neighborhoods who are asking for our help,” said Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell. “Demand for this program is strong, and I want to thank the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) for driving our traffic calming program.”
The Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT) opens two traffic calming application periods per year. Neighborhoods can submit completed applications during each of these multi-week time periods. Once the application window has closed, NDOT begins data collection on each of the submitted neighborhood streets to determine how they score. NDOT is opening the next Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming application window today, March 1, 2024 and the window will be open for 2 full weeks.
Based on applications and data collected, NDOT staff selected the following 25 Spring 2024 neighborhood streets:
