Nashville leaders could put these life saving revenue generators in every school zone in Davidson County if only they had the courage

The safety of our children > the convenience of some people driving near schools

I never see that new stuff, Mint sticks with LTS and honestly I don't need new computer stuff, I jist want the same stuff that used to work to keep working.

You're not wrong. We show who has power and who we value by who we protect.

I did last year, and I am surprised how little fuss it was. And ironically, I have fewer issues with Linux Mint than I do with Win 11. Steam has done amazing work to make it simple to play games. (Minecraft Bedrock is still a hassle, though, say my kids, but it's buggy on Windows too.)

Nashville man charged with attempted criminal homicide after ramming into a marked patrol car A Nashville man has been charged with attempted criminal homicide after police say he rammed into a marked patrol car in Bellevue on December 2.

I don't thick we sufficiently reckon with how easily a vehicle becomes a deadly weapon. Whether for security or public health or quality of life, cars and trucks shouldn't be allowed everywhere. Good infrastructure protects everyone.

Ooh, I have been in that space but didn't know about the singing, very cool.

Heck's Angels

Honestly, I will give the Studio Ghibli stuff a pass, I will never tire of watching them, and few Americans saw them in theaters on their original release dates.

But James, the tacos! Think of the *tacos*!

😭😭😭

The hero we need

all of the flex posts separating drivers from bikers on greenfield have been broken. this not only justifies their placement, but also points to the need of something more... concrete. @emilyfor7.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social

Re: the Warner Parks, I insist that Highway 100 should be 3 vehicle lanes with protected bike lanes or multi-use paths along the side.

I haven't seen it in 20 years, is Wash's final scene still as devastating? Think what you will of the showrunner, but that movie pulled no punches.

This is basically where Nashville's Vision Zero is at right now. Few real changes, few reductions to road fatilities.

"The real problem isn’t that Vision Zero doesn’t work; it’s that many places have adopted that slogan without making any real changes."

Nashville and @BNA could learn from the Inland Empire's illfated @Tesla tunnels:

Proposal to bring $15M in safety upgrades to downtown Nashville receives mixed reactions New security measures could soon be coming to downtown Nashville.

If Metro wants to eliminate street racing and significantly increase safety Downtown, without installing a surveillance state, it could spend that $15M on raised crossing for all Downtown intersections for all streets NDOT controls.

Get. Rid. Of. The. Damn. Slip. Lanes. Everywhere. Every time it’s possible.

I hereby invite them to ride with me and see what a Class 2 ebike is actually like.

School crossing guards face life-threatening dangers on the job An investigation by The Associated Press and Cox Media Group Television Stations found that school crossing guards face dangerous conditions, with many injured or killed on the job.

Crossing guards are great, but we should restore our cities to places where children aren't at constant risk of death or injury.

YouTube video by The B1M This Stadium is Dividing America

B1M does Titans propoganda.

Not included in the price, the ~$10B infrastricture cost to build out the East Bank to support the TIF mechanism.

Nice try, B1M, but even a cleverly designed private subsidy is still a private subsidy.

No one at Metro has told me as much, but it seems like a lot of decisions are motivated by perceived homeless users of public amenities.

And they shut down the fountains at Bicentennial (and Public Square).

In answer to your question, gott be Frankie Pierce, right?

#BlackFridayParking at Bellevue One in Nashville. Supposedly the one day a year that the shops would need all this mandated parking, and it's still massively overbuilt.

I should be mad at being pandered to, but I'm also enjoying it, so 🤷‍♂️
