Topics getting the most attention in Nashville public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
6 issues with low priority
Solicitation Ordinance Enforcement Changes
An ordinance would tighten enforcement of door-to-door solicitation rules, require regular review of the no-solicitation registry, and allow permit suspension or revocation for repeat violators.
Whitsett Park paddling access
A donated in-kind grant from the Tennessee Scenic Rivers Association would build a canoe and kayak access structure at Whitsett Park along Mill Creek, improving water trail access.
TVA energy-saving grant for businesses
The city would apply for a TVA Energy Right grant, partnering with Nashville Electric Service, to help local businesses install energy-saving equipment — lowering their utility bills and energy use.
disABILITIES Sports Leagues support
A donated in-kind grant would buy jerseys for athletes in the Metro Parks disABILITIES Sports Leagues, supporting inclusive recreation at no cost to the city.
Traffic safety school and victims assistance fee changes
Two ordinances would raise traffic safety school enrollment fees and update the victims assistance assessment to comply with state law — small costs that fall directly on people who use these services.
Alley abandonments near 14th Avenue North and Veritas Street
Two ordinances would abandon public alley rights-of-way — Alley #614 near 14th Avenue North and Alley #1912 off Veritas Street — potentially transferring those strips to adjoining owners.
