Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”) and the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure (“NDOT”) for the North Nashville Community Engagement/Jefferson Street Corridor Planning and Environmental Linkages Study.
The agreement allows the parties to conduct community engagement services that gather meaningful input for potential future planning needs and initiatives within North Nashville. The agreement would also provide a FWHA Planning and Environmental Linkages Study for potential improvements in the Jefferson Street Corridor.
The agreement term is five years from which the agreement is fully executed. The Federal Highway Administration would provide $3,000,000 in funds, and the Metropolitan Government would provide a $750,000 match. The participation of the Metropolitan Government is subject to the availability of funds as determined by the Department of Finance.
The proposal has been approved by the Planning Commission. Tennessee Code Annotated Section 12-9-104(a)(2)(b) authorizes the Metropolitan Government to enter into intergovernmental agreements with the State of Tennessee by resolution.
Fiscal Note: Metro would pay $750,000, 20% of the estimated project cost of $3,750,000, towards the North Nashville community engagement/Jefferson Street corridor planning and environmental linkages (“PEL”) study.
