How ‘bout some (Amazon) Flex-Posting? @themanaen.bsky.social I like these Shared Use Paths that’re prevalent in newer developed areas in Nolensville-Brentwood-Antioch-Bellevue areas. In our urban areas space is tighter but I still think there are lessons to be taken from our suburban neighbors.

I wish the reasons for inaction were stated aloud. 'The reason we keep 5 lane's on Gallatin is because we believe it's good for commerce'. Because when that test is applied it doesn't hold up. Places where cars move slower & streets are friendlier to pedestrians are economically stronger.
