NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mayor's office said Thursday it's already installed more than 6,000 new energy-efficient LED streetlights across town.
I wanted to check back in with neighbors in one of the parts of town where streetlights are reported broken most often — near Dudley Park — to see if they've shown up there.
When we got there, we found Woodrow Williams.
We first talked with Woodrow and his friend Maurice last July, after the LED plan was first announced.
Fast forward nine months and interactive maps from the Nashville Mayor's Office show workers have indeed installed thousands of LED streetlights in East Nashville, Inglewood and Madison, but not in Woodrow's neighborhood.
"Hopefully we'll get some lights one day over here," Woodrow said.
The Mayor's office says they'll install the rest of the lights over the next several years, with Woodrow hopeful for a brighter future.
I am so inspired by Sheila Gann's love for her husband and her resilience. Anyone who has lost a loved one to Alzheimer's knows how cruel this disease is - not only for the patient but also for those who love and care for them. Mike and Sheila clearly had a remarkable love story, and she is now honoring that in the most beautiful way. Thanks to Forrest Sanders for sharing their story.
