2/18/26 Bay Cove Trail Traffic Calming Meeting

The Metro Nashville Network held a public meeting on February 18, 2026, to discuss the Bay Cove Trail Traffic Calming Project. The meeting focused on presenting updated traffic calming plans, including the installation of speed cushions, radar feedback signs, and painted bulb-outs to reduce vehicle speeds on this residential street. The project was selected through a data-driven prioritization process and is already funded, with implementation contingent on a neighborhood vote requiring a 66% approval threshold. Attendees provided feedback on the placement and spacing of speed cushions, particularly near intersections and hills, and discussed the effectiveness of various traffic calming measures. The project team committed to reviewing and potentially adjusting cushion locations before proceeding to the ballot phase. If the vote passes, INDOT will order materials and contract for installation; if not, some non-physical measures like radar signs will still be implemented without further voting.
