7/14/26 Pennington Avenue Traffic Calming Meeting

The Metro Nashville Network held a traffic calming meeting on July 14, 2026, focused on the Pennington Avenue neighborhood. The meeting covered the traffic calming program's overview, data metrics, and potential physical solutions such as speed cushions, radar feedback signs, and striping to reduce speeding and improve safety. The discussion included preliminary design proposals featuring three sets of speed cushions spaced along the street, with considerations for the street's narrow width, hills, and numerous driveways. Residents expressed mixed opinions on the necessity and placement of speed cushions, with some favoring signage and striping instead. The process for community balloting on the proposed measures was explained, requiring a two-thirds majority for approval before moving to construction. The meeting concluded with plans for further design refinement and a possible follow-up meeting to address community feedback.
