- MAYOR’S MESSAGE -
Mayor Megan Barry addressed the Metropolitan Council with the following statement:
Hello everyone. Welcome back and happy New Year! I hope that all of you had a happy, peaceful, and relaxing holiday.
Not too long ago, I sat over there in that seat and at the beginning of each Council meeting, the kind Clerk would be asked – are there any messages from the mayor? Occasionally, Clerk Hall would respond, yes and she would read a bond report and during the eight years I served on Metro Council, the Mayor appeared in person a few times. It became a running joke – will there be any messages this evening?
I promise that I’m not going to come all the time, but I do think it’s important for all of you to hear directly from me on occasion.
This past Sunday marked my first 100 days in the Mayor’s Office and, for 26 of you, it marked your first 100 days on the Metro Council. The other 14 – this is old hat, you already know what to do.
Like you, I’ve been busy. I’ve had the opportunity to appoint a very talented and diverse staff that I think reflects the population of Nashville and my administration is focused on engaging with all of you and with all of our Nashville community.
We’ve got a lot to do in 2016, and I’m looking forward to working with all of you on our shared goals.
There are two things specifically tonight that I want to highlight for you. In the coming days, Public Works will be in contact with each of you to discuss sidewalks. Sidewalks have been a huge conversation. Public Works has identified sidewalk projects in each of the 35 Metro Council districts that we believe follow certain criteria – they connect to schools, they connect to transit lines and they fill in gaps in the sidewalk network where there is high pedestrian concentration. They will be asking for your insights as well so that work can begin as soon as possible.
We also are moving forward on updating the sidewalk and bikeway master plan. We have an innovative, high quality design process and a comprehensive public engagement process that we will use. This update will guide our city’s investments and strategies for pedestrians and cyclists.
This plan also has to involve all of you and a robust public input process to ensure that all voices and viewpoints are heard. I’ll provide more details as they come. We intend to build a lot of sidewalks and bike lanes over the next several years. So I want you to be assured that we are absolutely committed to that.
Second, we are moving forward with a conversation that was started last June regarding a new police administrative headquarters that will replace the one currently housed in the criminal justice center across from the courthouse.
We have worked with Councilmember Freddie O’Connell and Councilmember Colby Sledge and along with the Mayor’s office, we are going to host a community meeting to discuss the potential of building that headquarters on Murfreesboro Pike. It will be adjacent to the new Family Justice Center that we’re already building there.
The community meeting will be Wednesday, January 13th from 5:30 to 6:30 PM, at Trevecca Nazarene University.
This will be a great opportunity for you and the public to share your thoughts on this project. It is currently owned by Metro, so that makes it an easier site, but I want you all to be able to come and ask questions if you have questions.
I think you will hear a theme here: community engagement and input is critical to any decision-making process. Whether it is about where we are going to locate a new headquarters, whether it is about where we want new sidewalks – I want your input.
I want to thank you for your time. I want to thank you for what you do. I know that already you are very busy, because I have heard from several you about what is going on in your district.
I look forward to working with all of you over the next few months and years to come, so that we can build a better quality of life for all of our citizens. So thank you for inviting me here tonight, I do come at your invitation, so I appreciate that you welcomed me. Thank you so much, have a great evening.
