Lime and LAB Study and Report Includes Nashville
The League of American Bicyclists and Lime Corporation issued a report based on data from several cities including Nashville. Findings were that scooter and bike riders like good bike lanes. Shocking, I know.

Future of Siegenthaler Bike Ped Bridge During Construction
From an article in the Nashville Post ($$)
Councilmember Sean Parker — whose district includes portions of the East Bank — raised concerns about the lack of a written commitment that ensures access to the bridge and expressed worries that suburban commuters might be prioritized over those who walk and bike along the bridge daily.
“I’m a little bit worried about these concerns getting kind of crowded out by these very loud, very well-resourced stakeholders that manage to have lobbyists at all these meetings … I have some heartburn about the potential of [the bridge] closing for a long stretch,” Parker said at Thursday’s meeting.
