Metro Nashville wants your thoughts on Dickerson Road

The future of Nashville communities should not be decided without input from the people that live in our city. To make sure community voices are heard, Metro Nashville is holding community planning sessions to help decide the future of the Dickerson Road corridor.

The Planning Department of Metro Nashville is working with Councilmembers Scott Davis, DeCosta Hastings, Brenda Haywood and Nancy VanReece possible updates to how land is used along Dickerson Road. Right now, the planning for Phase 1 is underway and Metro Nashville wants the input of reisdents and community members. Phase 1 includes the area along Dickerson Road from Springs Street to just north of Trinity Lane.

To help in this process, consider attending one of four upcoming community meetings to answer these questions:

1.     What would you like to see along the corridor in the future?
