@NashvilleDOT @JacobKupin4D19 Seigenthaler ramp pitch means that cyclists are coming into this blindness at 20 mph, with no sightlines and nothing slowing cars down. This needs to be a raised crossing with restrictions on 18 wheelers. When I crossed, I got screamed at. Not fun.

@1045TheZone The van in front of the Hyundai is yours, both parked illegally, putting bike commuters in danger. Not acceptable.

Now do all cars and trucks

@NashvilleDOT Almost got to see a young lady killed instantly by a pickup driver at Demonbreun and 7th because there is nothing in the road design preventing him from doing 50 mph in the city. Not sure how to make it a HUB request, but please fix this so it's not a racetrack.

Yes the cold is tough, but what's worse as a bike commuter is having to take so much time reporting violent drivers (including some disgusting behavior from @WeGoTransit #28-which I often ride, how's that for irony-at 7:30 this morning). Just exhausting stuff.

First commute of 2025, I was hoping for a good start. At first stop sign, immediately get screamed at, then 4 drivers don't care if they kill me in 4 miles. OK. So that's how it still is in Nashville. So exhausting.

Well the final stage of this site becoming a hellscape certainly developed rapidly. Planning to look into the bluer site. Connect if you are friend-shaped.

@starflyer59 Lust For Gold is the first album in years I've listened through then immediately started again. Home run.

Stopped in to Highland Yards. Did not expect parking lot to wrap all the way around. If there was bike parking I didn't see it. So things cost $1 more than they could have and parents had to worry about their toddlers walking around the suvs. Huge walkability missed opportunity.

Also, the alternative is..crickets. Nothing. Well, nothing but worse, more dangerous traffic and more road rage, which TN leads the nation in already.

There are cool places on Gallatin I've never been to since the route isn't safe enough.

This is accurate

@nashvilledot Now that the excellent Demonbreun Hill lanes are paved, can we lose the less excellent (and confusing in general) "Bike lane closed-share the road" signage that's in the way?

Not if you bike

It's incredible how dangerous all the traffic on Demonbreun (and of course Broadway) can be, even though average speed is probably 8 mph. Based on how people behaved at 5 pm, these are some of my last thoughts on the issue.

So astonishingly reprehensible. Predictable human sacrifice.

I get so tired of people arguing that they should be allowed to kill people because they don't want to pay attention.
