5 issues with medium priority
Irregular lot shapes in new subdivisions
Commission members pushed back on approving oddly shaped lots that meet only minimum requirements. A subcommittee is studying how to make lots more uniform in future subdivisions.
Local Election Results
Dickson County voters turned out at just over 42% on Nov. 3 and decided local races that will shape county government. The winners will help set the direction on county spending, services, and priorities—so the results matter for daily life even if you didn’t vote.
Road Sight Distance Improvement
Dickson County cut down a dirt bank at Steel Road and Hwy. 48 so drivers pulling out can finally see oncoming traffic. It’s a small road project with a very practical payoff: fewer blind merges and less white-knuckle turning.
West Dry Hollow Road Name Change
Duplicate addresses between the new development and old West Dry Hollow have caused misdelivered packages and 911 confusion. Renaming a portion to just 'Dry Hollow' should fix it.
East Piney Road Speed Study
Commissioners advanced two road safety measures: a three-way stop at Cowan and Murrell Roads and a speed limit study on Three Island Ford Road. The Sheriff said both traffic studies should be done by the August 17 regular session.
