The Metro Nashville Traffic & Parking Commission met October 12, 2026. The commission approved the agenda and September 14 minutes with a request to add ordinance numbers. It approved consent items covering alley abandonments, a multi-way stop at Edgehill Avenue and Villa Place, a 35-mph speed limit on Blue Hole Road, and a multi-way stop at Una Antioch Pike and Oakwood Forest Drive. The commission also approved a valet permit for Last Parking at a downtown hotel; discussion addressed keeping vehicles and queues clear of crosswalks and the public right-of-way, with enforcement by NDOT and, for moving violations, police. No contract awards, purchases, or procurement-related budget decisions were identified.

Commissioners discussed a request for residential-permit parking and changes to paid parking at 807 18th Avenue South, raising concerns about the limited number of spaces, neighborhood engagement, and alternatives such as a broader resident parking zone; the transcript does not clearly capture a disposition on that item. The commission also approved staff’s recommendation on a separate INDOT parking request, though the final parking layout was not established. INDOT reported that it would delay proposed mobile food vending regulations for public rights-of-way until January, pending final rules for the downtown transportation district. Other discussion included pedestrian safety and a possible review of residential parking policies.
