9/22/26 Sweetbriar Avenue Traffic Calming Meeting

This Metro Nashville Network meeting held on September 22, 2026, focused on the Sweetbriar Avenue traffic calming project. The discussion centered on the selection of Sweetbriar Avenue for traffic calming measures as part of INDOT's program, which prioritizes streets based on speed, volume, nearby trip destinations, bus routes, and crash history. The meeting reviewed various traffic calming tools such as speed cushions, radar feedback signs, pavement markings, bulbouts, chicanes, and traffic circles, with a preliminary design proposing additional speed cushions spaced approximately 400 feet apart. Community members raised concerns about traffic volume, speeding, and the impact of large trucks, and requested consideration of additional calming measures. The meeting concluded with plans to finalize the design, potentially add more cushions or radar signs, and proceed to an online ballot for resident approval. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the project involves future installation contracts for traffic calming devices.
