we need to make our own "rumble" in response to this action. Does anyone know who at TDOT we can direct objections?

A form letter with a few people at TDOT's contact information would be powerful.

 Popular Bike Route to be RUMBLED

"Tom Evans" <t...@evanscenter.com> May 23 07:07AM -0500  

We have just learned that TDOT plans to rumble one of the most popular bike
routes in Sumner County - New Hope Road (aka New Shackle Road). This road
has 2-foot wide shoulders in the section to be rumbled. However, TDOT spec
say it has 4-foot wide shoulders. If you have ridden New Hope you know the
only 4-foot wide section is a block north and south of SR-174 and nowhere
else.
 

 
Bicyclist do not have an alternate route. That is why it is so popular. It
is straight and flat with manageable 2-foot wide shoulders soon to be
rumbled. In the past bicyclists and motorists have learned to Share this
Road. That is soon to end!

Dude shouldn't even be driving, much less with an interlock device. That
kinda pisses me off, pardon my French.

I suggest that we send our comments to TDOT Commissioner John Schroer who was the mayor of Franklin and a supporter of cyclists.
