** Tactical Urbanism Program: Awarded Projects
------------------------------------------------------------

This week we announced the awardees of its first Tactical Urbanism Program project cycle.

Tactical Urbanism projects are community-led, temporary installations which aim to test modifications to roadway designs or beautify an area using low-cost materials. NDOT originally planned to support four projects for this first cycle, but due to a high number of strong applications, 14 community-led projects will soon be implemented throughout the city. Each awardee will be provided with up to $20,000 to support the installation of their respective project.

** Nashville Streetlight Retrofit Project
------------------------------------------------------------
https://www.nashvillestreetlights.com/
Earlier this year we began to implement the Nashville Streetlight Retrofit Project (https://www.nashvillestreetlights.com/) in partnership with the Mayor's Office and Nashville Electric Service (NES). This project is an overhaul of our current system that will provide Nashvillians with brighter and safer roadways in alignment with Vision Zero (https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/plans-and-programs/vision-zero) .

Conversions began in the northernmost areas of the City, with progress flowing clockwise throughout project phases. NDOT along with the Vision Zero Advisory Committee (VZAC) (https://www.nashville.gov/departments/transportation/plans-and-programs/vision-zero/advisory-committee) identified locations on the high injury network (HIN) that will be upgraded outside of the conversion schedule to improve safety on our roadways.

The following locations have been submitted to NES:
* Murfreesboro Pike from Spence Lane to Thompson Lane
* Charlotte from George L Davis Blvd to 22^nd Ave
* Murfreesboro from Bell Road to Hamilton Church Road
* Harding Place from Antioch Pike to Linbar Drive
* Nolensville Pike from Harrison Street to Alice Ave.
