In a recent government meeting, officials outlined the upcoming online ballot process for a traffic calming initiative on Stonewater Drive. The voting period will last six weeks, requiring a minimum of 66% favorable votes from participants to proceed with the installation of traffic calming devices. This percentage is calculated based on the number of individuals who actually vote, not the total number of eligible voters.

Residents, churches, and schools located along Stonewater Drive will be eligible to vote, with each property receiving one ballot. Notably, vacant properties and businesses will not be included in the voting process, and renters are also ineligible, as the focus is on property owners who are more likely to be affected by the traffic conditions.

The meeting emphasized the importance of community involvement, as those living and working in the area are directly impacted by high speeds on the roadway. Officials acknowledged delays in the installation of the devices due to material shortages but assured attendees that efforts are being made to expedite the process.

Additionally, while there are ongoing discussions about lowering the speed limit on Stonewater Drive, this specific project will not address that issue. Residents are encouraged to submit requests for speed limit evaluations through Hub Nashville.

For further inquiries, attendees were invited to reach out via email to designated contacts for additional information regarding the project.
