There’s no reason for this car to pull up onto the sidewalk. WeGo should reflect the best of Nashville not the worst.

Guys Dot Dobbins died here almost three months ago and NDOT plans to study the whole corridor for 4-6 months for what they anticipate will recommend "enhanced pedestrian crossings and traffic calming measures." We can't wait that long! The greenway crossing needs vertical measures today!

Respect my decision

Transfer Portal: Manaen Hall I want to thank Coach Gamble for her support and leadership the last couple of years. Sadly, we haven’t seen eye to eye on how to address the housing crisis, and I rarely get a response back. Ultimately, I fully enjoyed my time and the people here in D3 and would be happy to be back here now or in the future. With that being said, I am entering the transfer portal and opening up my recruitment. Please submit your pitches and NIL offers to me or my management. Thanks! Titan Up!

In Nashville, the Broadway bar owners argue against doing things like this. They want people to be herded into their bars. They don’t want a completely open street because then you might freely cross to the other side.

One of the reasons they gave for moving them was that they wanted to put them where everyone could use them a.k.a. tourists and not the homeless. You would think KVB would be a good place for tourists to use them as well. It’s not like it’s close to a ginormous music venue and a dozen hotels.
