Stop the i24 choice lanes project from Nashville to Murfreesboro
The Issue
This project will only encourage induced demand. There isn’t one city that choice lanes have improved traffic such as Atlanta or Houston for example.
The South Nashville community is under threat due to the planned i24 choice lanes project, which promises to uproot families, displace long-time residents, and change the character of our neighborhoods beyond recognition. This isn't just another infrastructure project; it is a decision that stands to benefit only a select few while leaving the heart of our community vulnerable.
For generations, South Nashville has been home to families who have built their lives and memories in this vibrant area. Yet, the i24 choice lanes project, under the guise of progress, proposes to strip away this legacy. This supposed improvement is poised to serve only those who can afford the congestion pricing required to access these lanes, leaving regular commuters, who won't see any real benefit, to suffer in congested paths and worsening traffic conditions.
Unfortunately, this project is underpinned by a private-public partnership that prioritizes profit over people. It is undeniable that while private companies stand to gain financially, our residents will be footing the bill for generations to come. This misalignment of priorities not only undermines the community but also increases financial strain on those who have lived and worked here, some their entire lives.
Our goal is to put a stop to this project and shift the focus to transportation initiatives that genuinely accommodate and support the entire Nashville populace—not just those who can afford to pay for convenience. By investing in more inclusive public transit options, improving the existing road infrastructure for all, and engaging transparently with the public, we can innovate without displacing the people who make Nashville home.
No project should come at the cost of community stability and well-being. It is time we took a stand against the inequities presented by the i24 choice lanes proposal and showed the decision-makers that the people of Nashville demand a future that includes everyone.
We urge you to join this cause, lend your voice, and help protect the essence of our communities. Please sign this petition to tell our leaders that we must prioritize inclusive, equitable, and sustainable transportation solutions over short-sighted privatized gains.
