We recognize that all residents deserve access to safe, efficient, and pleasant streets. Unfortunately, the demand for traffic calming treatments exceeds our resources to plan, design, and construct these projects. To provide a fair evaluation of the very high number of neighborhoods desiring to participate, projects are selected twice a year. Beginning September 1, 2025, the Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming (NSTC) program will accept applications year-round. Applications received by September 19, 2025 will be evaluated for the Spring 2026 selections. Applications received from September 20, 2025 to March 14, 2025 will be evaluated for Fall 2026 selections.
We encourage residents to review the Traffic Calming Toolkit before submitting a new application to see what measures are available within this program, and to make sure this is a good fit for your street’s needs. If after review, you do not believe that this program is a good fit, we encourage you to visit hubNashville. There are many other options for your street via the hub, such as sign requests, paving requests, sidewalk requests, traffic engineering requests, and much more!
Please also review the Traffic Calming Tracker to see if there is already an application on the street of concern. The application must be approved by a neighborhood organization or at least four (4) separate residence owners whose property abuts the street of concern. If this requirement is not met, the application will be denied.
If you have any questions, please contact the Neighborhood Street Traffic Calming (NSTC) program team at [email protected], or call the program manager, 629-278-0538.
