Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between the Nashville Department of Transportation (“NDOT”) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”).
Pursuant to this agreement, TDOT would grant a license to NDOT for the installation, operation, and maintenance of transportation art on the south side of Mulberry Street along an I-40 overpass solid retaining wall. The license would be granted at no cost to Metro and would be for a term on 10 years on a renewable basis. The design of the mural can be viewed in Exhibit A of the agreement.
The Metropolitan Council previously approved an application for this project through Resolution No. RS2024-695.
Fiscal Note: There is no cost to Metro for the license agreement to install transportation art on the south side of Mulberry Street along I-40 overpass solid retaining wall. Metro will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the transportation art after installation.
