NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Metro commission is undertaking new efforts to cut down on violent crashes along one of Nashville's busiest roads.
On Monday, Nashville's Traffic and Parking Commission passed a proposal to lower speed limits along Dickerson Pike.
Some places will go from 40 miles an hour down to 35, or even 30 miles an hour.
This is all to cut down on crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists.
So far this year, there have been 14 pedestrians killed on Nashville roads.
We're told NDOT will let the community know before the speeds change, so no one is caught off guard.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
