From the corner of Fairfax to the corner of Chesterfield, there is an unusable asphalt "sidewalk" for much of the street. Autos use Marlborough as a cut-through to get to West End, so the street takes high traffic. Also, motorists often run the four-way stop at Fairfax and Marlborough and travel the road at a high rate of speed. This sidewalk needs repair so strollers and walkers can use it. Could also use a crosswalk at all four corners of Marlborough and Fairfax 4-way.

Clients visiting businesses along Crestmoor cannot exit on to Crestmoor due to excessive traffic backed up on this road due to short green light at Crestmoor and Hillsboro, coupled with the added traffic on this street due to the Abbott Martin road closure.

The posted speed limit is 30 in a residential area. Cars on this road travel in excess of 50 miles an hour. A few speed bumps would slow traffic to a normal rate.

Due to all the buses and 18-wheelers that go thru this short cut the road is torn to pieces.

I would have thought they would have paved this when they were paving James Robertson Parkway since it is a very small stretch of roadway.

This is the most dangerous place on Woodmont between 100 Oaks and Green Hills. It is truly a high traffic street, particularly with the addition of the Vanderbilt clinic at 100 oaks mall. The only lights we have to slow down the traffic are on Powell, and then the next one is at Lealand. The speed limit is 25, but i've witnessed people consistently going over 50 coming over the top of the hill. In the Pleasant Valley neighborhood you have 4 streets. They are Pleasant Valley, Springbrook, Westhaven and Crestridge. There are 86 houses in this neighborhood. Obviously it is just a matter of time until there is a serious accident. Having a four way light like the one at Lealand would allow for safer traffic patterns and left turns out of the neighborhood.

Music City Raceway is getting out of control. When I first moved up there, 27 years ago, knowing the track is noisy, it was only on Saturday nights. I realize the track has changed hands so all agreements are off. This past week the track ran Monday, Tuesday (Motorcycle race) Friday and Saturday nights and sometimes on Sundays. When the Jet cars run, you have to leave the hill. The issue is, our quality of life up here is really compromised since none of us around the neighborhood can be outside, work in our yards, have company over to our house except Wednesday and Thursdays during the week. Since this is a money making situation, common sense would say, the track should build a sound barrier similar to what is around the interstate. We know the track is going to run, they have more money than we do. You can hear the track more than 10 miles away and they run sometimes up to 1:00 in the morning. Next door neighbor has a 6 month old and I know, they get no rest with that baby. Just some kind of wall or sound barrier to help deflect the noise. I'm sure they don't want us to make them put mufflers on their race cars like the fairgrounds track had to. Just be fair about the situation, and we don't constantly want to hear the loudspeakers, tires squealing, engines roaring and the ever fragrant smell of tires burning, and blue fog hovering. Keep it all over there on them.

Road work which was poorly completed has left a dangerous hump in the curved portion of the road which, when traversed at the posted speed limit, leaves a driver struggling to maintain control.

There needs to be a right turn lane installed at the corner of Andrew Jackson Pkwy & Old Lebanon Dirt Road. So many drivers turn right at this light and are unable to because of delays by the Music City Star and other traffic. Most days traffic is backed up to the corner of Old Hickory Blvd.
