The $3.1B Plan for Better Transit in Nashville. Plus, New Anti-Nazi Measures

View all City Cast Nashville episodes

The Nashville Scene’s cover package this week is all about the “Choose How You Move” transportation improvement plan that will be on ballots this November, and reporter Eli Motycka joins host Grace Fuisz and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to answer some of our burning questions. What’s in this thing? Why does it need to happen right now? How will it help people who don’t ride the bus? And what is the city doing to ensure disabled riders are included in the improvements? We also get into Mayor O’Connell’s just-announced public safety ordinances designed to help curb the neo-Nazi activity that disrupted our summer. Plus, stick around after the interview for a recap of our “Nashville In Stereo” event at the Tecovas store in the Green Hills Mall last week — a wonderful time was had by all, and we loved the performances from artists Nick Tabron, Sam Rochford, and Alex Wong. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
