When it’s this cold in Nashville, the city opens its emergency shelter. Metro has struggled to find someone to run it.
SUMMARY: In Nashville, freezing temperatures have increased the demand for shelters for people experiencing homelessness, particularly after concerns over the city-operated emergency shelter. With temperatures expected to remain below freezing, the city’s overflow shelter on Brick Church Pike is open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., but closures of public places have left some vulnerable during the day. Volunteers, including city employees, are relied upon due to difficulties in maintaining staffing. Despite fully funded attempts, no contractors have been found to operate the shelter. Metro plans to extend shelter hours during the current cold snap and search for a long-term provider after the winter.

SUMMARY: Tennessee has lowered the speed limit on State Route 109, a notoriously dangerous stretch of road, in response to hundreds of accidents and growing concerns. Effective today, the speed limit is reduced by 5 to 10 miles per hour. Between October 2019 and 2024, over 1,600 crashes were reported on this road. The decision follows community concerns and extensive traffic studies. Lowering the speed limits to 45 and 50 mph aims to reduce crash severity. State and local authorities, along with the Tennessee Highway Patrol, are working together to enforce the new limits and improve safety.
After hundreds of crashes, TDOT is lowering the speed limit along a notoriously dangerous stretch of road.
