8/20/26 Holt Hills Road Traffic Calming Meeting 2

The Metro Nashville Network held a public meeting on August 20, 2026, to discuss the proposed traffic calming measures for Holt Hills Road between Holt Road and Cobble Street. The meeting focused on presenting a refined design concept that includes speed cushions, bulb outs, and safe shoulders aimed at reducing speeding and improving pedestrian safety. Attendees provided feedback on the design elements, particularly expressing concerns about the use of vertical delineators at intersections and their impact on parking and emergency vehicle access. Alternatives such as speed bumps and enhanced striping were discussed. The project is part of a high-demand traffic calming program that selects streets based on speed and traffic volume data. The next steps include an online voting process for property owners to approve the final design before construction scheduling.
