7/22/26 Wimpole Drive Traffic Calming Meeting

This Metro Nashville Network virtual meeting held on July 22, 2026, focused on the Wimpole Drive Traffic Calming project, part of the Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming Program. The discussion centered on proposed traffic calming measures such as speed cushions, radar speed feedback signs, and potential street narrowing to reduce vehicle speeds and improve pedestrian safety. The project is one of 25 selected streets for spring 2026, with a prioritization process considering traffic volume, speed, crash history, and pedestrian accommodations. Residents provided input on speeding concerns, pedestrian activity, and potential impacts of proposed measures, including a one-way traffic option and the need for sidewalks. The meeting outlined next steps including a possible second neighborhood meeting, an online balloting process requiring a 66% approval for project implementation, and eventual construction scheduling. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the meeting emphasized community engagement and design feedback for the upcoming traffic calming installation.
