Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves a license agreement between the Metropolitan Department of Parks and Recreation (“Parks”) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”). Pursuant to the agreement, Parks would use a portion of State Route 155 right-of-way adjacent to the ramp to Two Rivers Parkway and Gaylord Drive to install and maintain a multi-modal greenway project to be known as the “Stones River Greenway - Opry Mills Greenway Connector”. TDOT would permit the use of this property for this purpose. Parks would not pay for the use of this license, however Parks will be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the improvements. The term of the license agreement is 20 years.
Amendments, renewals, or extensions of the terms of the license agreement may be approved by a resolution of the Council receiving at least 21 affirmative votes.
This has been approved by the Planning Commission.
Fiscal Note: There is no cost to Metro for the performance of this agreement.
