NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — As Nashville continues to try to improve how we all move around town, the US Department of Transportation has awarded two SMART grants to help NDot and WeGo upgrade two of our major pikes.
NDOT will get $10 million to continue its plan to make Nolensville Pike safer for pedestrians and cyclists using LiDar technology.
WeGo will use nearly 2 million dollars for tech upgrades to help buses run along it's busiest route: Murfreesboro Pike.
AI, automated vehicle location systems and adaptive traffic lights are all part of the plan.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
