NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A portion of Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage is getting a reputation for bad crashes. NDOT is now stepping in to figure out what can be done to make drivers and pedestrians safer.
The 3-mile stretch of road between Wright Avenue and Bell Road has seen 22 fatal and serious-injury crashes. Seven involved pedestrians.
NDOT applied for a $200,000 TDOT grant to look at safety measures that can be implemented to make it safer for you and your family.
The Department calls that area a high and medium tier level area of concern on Nashville's Vision Zero strategy. Nashville became a Vision Zero city back in 2022 with the goal of eliminating all traffic-related deaths and severe injuries.
We'll let you know when this study gets underway.
The Jefferson Street Sound Museum is a great little gem in North Nashville. The founder and curator turned his home into a museum to keep the legacy of historic Jefferson street alive. Now, it's been named a stop on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. Aaron Cantrell takes us inside.
