NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell has named a new acting director of the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (NDOT).
On Monday, Mayor O'Connell stated that he accepted current NDOT Director Diana Alarcon’s resignation.
"I appreciate her partnership and faithful service to the city we both love, and we wish her the best," he said in a statement. "Today, I am appointing Phillip Jones as Acting Director of NDOT. Phillip has been Deputy Director and has given more than 30 years of service to the department. He has overseen recent critical operational improvements like adding to our snowplow routes, patching more than 70,000 potholes, and assisting in implementation of critical elements of our Choose How You Move plan. Phillip is an accomplished and dedicated professional who loves Nashville, and I am confident that he will successfully guide the department during this time of transition.”

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
