NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s Choose How You Move campaign passed November’s referendum. The plan is to improve how Nashvillians get around an increasingly crowded city. It’s expected to take 15 years to complete. News 2 asked city leaders what changes we will see in year one.
It was all celebrating from the mayor’s office election night when Choose How You Move passed with 66% of the vote.
“Across this city now for the next generation, we will all enjoy the things we deserve: sidewalks, signals, service and safety,” said Mayor Freddie O’Connell on election night on Nov. 5.

Now, Alex Apple, Deputy Communications Director for the mayor, said it’s time to get to work.
“Nashville needs to deliver on what it just told voters it was going to deliver,” said Apple.
Out of the gate, three top priorities are already underway: Hiring a program director; holding informational sessions for vendors; and, forming a citizen’s advisory council.
