Couple nights ago around 6pm I heard screeching tires over the sound of my TV.

I went outside & a car was off the road into someone's yard & a woman was screaming.

She ended up being alright & the driver who hit her stopped & walked over to her car.

I cleaned up the remnants today.

ADU / DADU legalization in Nashville.

1. Does this mean that I can now have 3 total housing units on my R6 lot? Two full-sized units originally allowed under R6 +1 ?

2. Can my ADU be attached? Ie; if I own a 3,000 4/4 house, can I install a door and make an ADU out of a 1Br/1BA area in the house?

Had a dream 😴 I was on a Men's League hockey 🏒 team that was coached by Kris Knoblauch.
@jspencersharpe.bsky.social was also on the team.

NDOT already hacked down all the white flex posts in this picture. The bases of the flex posts are still screwed into the pavement. The yellow center flex posts & cushions remain.
Traffic Calming:

I have been waiting years for NDOT to deploy a design like this.

No speed cushions*, just flex posts on all 3 lines.

It creates a visual (& physical) pinch point which slows down drivers.

It was working when I took these photos.

*Speed cushions are also deployed nearby.

'Work on' by people in jeans & hard hats or work on by people on a laptop? 🦺 💻
"Since the scope of work has expanded, Metro is planning to develop the street in sections:
Their goal for late spring 2026 is to work on the portion between Fifth Street and Eastland Avenue, where upgrades were planned pre-CHYM."

I wonder what's behind this?

And I don't mean behind the paywall.

Important meeting on Thursday for anyone who can make it. My questions would be how this development will impact the pedestrian bridge as well as the plans for East Bank Boulevard. Please attend if you can and report back for those who can't!

Got passed by a driver on a double-yellow in a 30mph zone (that should be 25). Car pulled into a school. Probably a teacher late for work.
