This is a sentiment I have heard befo...I hear you. This is a sentiment I have heard before and a criticism I take to heart. But, as someone who has been advocating for a sidewalk for 3 long years on a road that definitely has the qualities to need one (a public school, lots of businesses, a bus stop) - Bowling Av - I am STILL waiting despite numerous meetings, surveys, etc, I understand how this plays out. <br /><br />Until the mayor commits the funding with an end date for sidewalking Nashville, this is an option. <br /><br />I am sure not all drivers will obey the speed limit but that does not strike me as a valid argument not to pursue it. It would be better than what we have now (most side streets being 30mph) & ticketing could occur if needed. So, it is a solution. Not the best but better than do nothing while waiting. My hope is that this is a stepping stone to real sidewalks. <br /><br />I hope that makes sense!

I doubt cars will actually follow the new speed limit. don't be cheap and build a shoulder on roads or side walk (or even bike lanes)VAbluejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05019162324118581638noreply@blogger.com
