Commission adopts county safety action plan and multimodal greenways master plan

Mike Madison and the consultant team presented the Williamson County Safety Action Plan (a high‑injury network and a set of recommended countermeasures) and a companion multimodal greenways master plan. Madison said the project was funded by a TDOT grant and the safety plan identifies priority roadway segments and recommended improvements ranging from rumble strips and lighting to intersection redesigns. The greenways plan proposes 21 routes totaling an approximately 2,222 miles network (a number read during discussion) and is described as aspirational but implementable in part through grants, public‑private partnerships, and developer contributions.

Madison told commissioners that adoption makes the county eligible to pursue implementation funding and that his team would provide additional details at a follow‑up consultant briefing. Commissioners noted the heavy public input supporting greenways and the potential benefits for recreation, multimodal connectivity and grant competitiveness.

The commission voted by voice to adopt the Safety Action Plan and the multimodal greenways master plan, enabling staff to apply for federal and state implementation grants and to pursue partnerships to deliver selected projects.
