8/6/26 Union Hill Road Traffic Calming Meeting

This was a public neighborhood meeting held by the Nashville Department of Transportation on August 6, 2026, focused on traffic calming measures for Union Hill Road. The meeting covered the traffic calming program's scope, prioritization process, and potential interventions such as radar feedback signs and speed cushions. Residents expressed concerns about speeding, safety, and the rural nature of the road, generally opposing speed cushions due to their impact on emergency vehicles and local traffic. The department proposed installing radar feedback signs at three locations and possibly making intersection improvements at Union Hill and Claylick Road. No immediate contract awards or budget allocations were announced, but the discussion included references to typical project budgets around $50,000 and the process for community balloting when speed cushions are proposed. The department emphasized ongoing community engagement and planned a follow-up meeting to review design plans before moving forward.
