In response to your request for traffic calming activities:

Metro Public Works has developed the Metro Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. This program works with neighborhood groups through a step by step, progressive approach to addressing cut through speeding traffic, certain speeds, and volume thresholds. Speed humps are no longer used as a common method of traffic calming, and are no longer installed on a public streets. Traffic Management effects the entire neighborhood and because of this the neighborhood as a whole is required to participate. More information about this program, and an application can be downloaded from Nashville web page at www.nashville.gov/pw/mntmp/. Once you have downloaded the application, and have it signed by your Neighborhood Group Representative, please mail it to our office at the address listed on the application, ATT Benny Word. Once the application has been received we can start the evaluation process in the neighborhood, and meet with the residents to discuss which methods of traffic calming would be best for everyone living on the streets.

We will place Riverside Drive on the list for a speed radar trailer. You can also contact your local police precinct and place a request for an officer to come out for speed limit enforcement.

Thank you,
