Mayor Freddie O’Connell is inviting Nashvillians to attend Tuesday’s public release of policy briefs from his three transition committees, touching every aspect of Metro government and city’s most pressing challenges.
As one of those pressing challenges is parking, especially downtown, the Mayor asks you to consider other options in getting to the downtown library, which is an eight minute walk from the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center at WeGo Central.
“A big part of what we’re going to talk about on Tuesday is how Nashville moves, and how we go about investing in a transportation infrastructure that benefits all Nashvillians,” Mayor O’Connell said. “Our flagship library and bus station are centrally located in a compact downtown, and we invite you to consider transit as a way to save time and money, but also as a way to experience the convenience of the system.”
The downtown library, at 615 Church Street, is located two blocks south from the Tennessee State Capitol, and three blocks from the Music City Central bus station at 400 Charlotte Avenue. There are more than 30 bus routes in Middle Tennessee, and every bus in the WeGo fleet is fitted with an easy-to-use bike rack. For fares, maps and more info, please visit wegotransit.com.
Parking is at the Library Garage, 151 6th Ave. N., with entrances on 6th and 7th Ave. S, between Church St. and Commerce St. The first 90 minutes are free with a validation stamp and $3 for each additional half hour, up to 12 hours.
Note that Nashville Public Library offers free access to BCycle’s electric pedal-assist bicycles throughout Nashville. Get unlimited 2-hour trips, for one week, with a BCycle pass (fob) from the library.

Tuesday’s policy briefing event will showcase the work of Mayor O’Connell’s three transition committees, examining how Nashville moves, works, and grows.
Both media and the public are invited to the presentation which will present a series of guiding principles and policy recommendations that will build on Mayor O’Connell’s vision for Nashville.
Guiding principles will establish the administration’s north stars, setting the city’s course for years to come. Policy recommendations will identify the near-term solutions and action items that are ready for implementation now.
“In effect, this is our plan to move the city forward – together,” Mayor O’Connell said.
