Nashville Pedestrian Deaths Continue To Rise. Why?

Nashville Pedestrian Deaths Continue To Rise. Why?

We are in the final year of Nashville’s Vision Zero plan, which set a goal of zero fatalities on our roads. But pedestrian deaths are rising, bike lanes and traffic calming keep disappearing, and the forthcoming East Bank Boulevard is looking more and more like a highway. Host Marie Cecile Anderson sits down with Charlie Weingartner, chair of the Vision Zero Advisory Committee, to try and figure out what’s going on. Early voting is open now for select county judges, school board members, county clerks, and more. Here’s the list of candidates. Here is a sample ballot for the May 5 election with early voting locations and hours. If you haven’t yet registered to vote, you cannot vote in the May 5 primary election — but you can still register for the state and federal primary election on Aug. 6.
