Mayor Freddie O’Connell marked the two‑year anniversary of Nashville’s voter‑approved transportation improvement program, Choose How You Move, by launching a new website that tracks every project funded with the program’s more than $100 million investment.
Centralized information for residents
The site, located at nashville.gov/choose-how-you-move, provides up‑to‑date details on sidewalks, traffic‑signal upgrades, and transit service enhancements. Users can view a map of ongoing and completed projects, filter by project type, and see which neighborhoods will benefit next.
Progress on streets, sidewalks and transit
Since its inception, Choose How You Move has funded dozens of sidewalk projects—70 are either finished or in the planning stage, including new pathways near Geodis Park to help fans reach the venue on foot. The program has also upgraded roughly 200 intersections, with notable work on Murfreesboro Pike and Lebanon Pike improving traffic flow and safety.
Transit service has expanded, and the mayor highlighted double‑digit ridership growth. A new transit‑security division, created in partnership with Metro Nashville Police, adds a layer of safety for riders on the city’s bus and rail lines.
Mayor O’Connell’s remarks
“In those two years, we have been able to turn around and invest hundreds of millions of dollars in sidewalks, signals, service and safety,” O’Connell said. “We wanted a centralized resource so you can visit Nashville.gov/choose-how-you-move and get all the up‑to‑date information every single month.”
He added that the online tool is intended to keep Nashville families informed about neighborhood‑scale impacts, from new pedestrian pathways to upgraded traffic signals.
How residents can use the tool
The website’s interactive map lets users type an address or select a neighborhood to see which projects are planned nearby. Each listing includes a brief description, status (under construction or completed), and an estimated completion date where available.
Residents who want to suggest additional projects or ask questions can email the program’s contact, [email protected], for direct follow‑up.
Looking ahead
While the program has made significant strides, O’Connell noted that more work remains. The city continues to prioritize pedestrian safety, signal modernization, and expanded transit options as part of its broader effort to improve quality of life for Nashville’s families and commuters.
The new tracking portal is expected to increase transparency and community engagement, ensuring that taxpayers can see how their votes are translating into tangible improvements across the Metro area.
