Somebody has been listening. From my view, one of the reasons so many of us voted against the last transit plan, is that there was no clear DIRECT benefit to our communities. These targeted ads answering the all important question—What’s in it for us? BRILLIANT.

Here’s an excerpt from my newsletter on why I’m supporting the transit plan. I will be sharing info on the transit plan in my newsletter leading up to Election Day on November 5th. Early voting has started. So, you can go to the polls and vote FOR the transit plan now!

Also, people in Bordeaux talk A LOT about traffic, speeding cars, accidents & how long it takes to pull out of their driveways due to traffic. In the fall of 2019, there were three traffic-related deaths at the intersections of Stevens/Echo and Clarksville. Vote FOR transit.

I picked Ta-Nehisi Coats new book at Alkebulan yesterday. I’m only two pages in. But these two quotes are ringing in my ears… It’s giving me language for the weight that I feel about writing AND reminding me why I need to get back to it…

This is one of MY WHYs for advocating for the Transportation plan. My neighbors often ask for bus passes. This particular neighbor left one MDHA property b/c of conflict to go to another & wants her child to stay at the original school. ALL of Nashville will benefit from this!!

No words...

this blessed my soul.

This is super late. But major thanks to the CMs that voted against the $150K Metro Arts / Nashville Office of Arts + Culture settlement for Jonathan Saad. Several CMs shared pretty strong rebukes of Metro Legal's recommendation during the discussion. You can view it here: nashville.granicus.com/player/clip/49…
