Cleveland could be such an important street.
East Nashville needs a bike (and bus) corridor that cuts across East. From Dickerson Pike to Shelby Bottoms.
And ofc if we figure out how to burrow under the interstate....

Your regular reminder that despite the faded lines and leftover sign, there are still no bike lanes on Cleveland St, 8 years after they were removed by the previous councilmember.

Well, at the very least, this is an opportunity for other 2028 hopefuls to make an entrance into the TN-07 race.
Harris has clearly chosen her TN ally.
What other contenders see this as an opportunity to make some allies in a *very* silly inter-party squabble?

Former VP Kamala Harris rallied voters in Nashville, but didn't endorse Aftyn Behn. The D7 candidate left the rally early.

That settlement money could have given every public school teacher in Nashville an extra $1,300 or a 2.2% raise.
The MNPS Board determined in its annual evaluation that Dr. Adrienne Battle met district goals for student performance. That evaluation did not include discussion of the $6.5 million settlement reached in a suit against the superintendent this year.

Seems like Steve Cohen was blindsided by Justin Pearson’s primary challenge.
Odd, considering Pearson’s been floated for that seat for years, and this is about as favorable an environment as you’ll get to primary a safe-seat Dem.

Nashville has a well-documented housing shortage, with one study showing a 90,000 shortfall in homes by 2035.
But Nashville also has a shortage of commercial space, leading to ever higher commercial rents & the death of small businesses in booming neighborhoods.
