7/1/26 Morton Mill Road Traffic Calming Meeting

This Metro Nashville Network meeting held on July 1, 2026, focused on the neighborhood traffic calming program for Morton Mill Road. The discussion centered on proposed traffic calming measures, including speed cushions (speed bumps) and other physical interventions aimed at reducing vehicle speeds to improve safety. Residents expressed concerns about noise from speed cushions, the impact on property values, and questioned the necessity given the lack of significant crash history. Alternatives such as increased police enforcement and radar speed feedback signs were suggested. The program's process involves community feedback, a second meeting to refine designs, and an online ballot requiring a 66% approval from households abutting the street for implementation. No final decisions or contract awards were made during this meeting, but the discussion highlighted community input that will influence future design proposals and potential procurement of traffic calming installations.
