Last week's meeting featured a lengthy conversation with MNPD's Captain Williams, head of the Traffic Enforcement division. There is a lot of information in here that many will find particularly interesting. I encourage everyone to watch.

Timestamped portion of the meeting.

>NDOT will be replacing two bridges on Crocker Springs Road beginning with the northernmost bridge. This bridge replacement project is expected to last 8 months. All property owners will maintain access to their homes throughout the duration of the project. Detours are in place.

• A pedestrian bridge connecting Germantown to the East Bank has been anticipated for more than five years.
• Business owners and residents on both sides of the river are hoping the bridge will provide greater connectivity.
• Beyond the bridge, Oracle's plans for its River North campus are poised to completely reshape the area.

Has anyone biked the Natchez trace parkway & has any input on how busy it is? I want to do it but am nervous about how many cars will be on it / safety overall.

I have a 1990 GMC S-15 Sierra Classic with the 4.3L TBI V6. It's a family heirloom at this point in time. I have a few issues with it, particularly the engine loping at idle, and an electrical draw on the battery that I need to get figured out. I'm handy but don't have a ton of experience working on old cars, nor do I have the time or space to tinker my way through it right now. As well, I'd just like a thorough once-over of the truck.

I've taken it to a few different shops in East Nashville, and they've been pretty honest with me that they don't have the best equipment or knowledge to be working on TBIs any more.

Any recommendations for shops or mechanics that specialize in older vehicles? I have an appointment on the books with H & H Automotive Repair but am trying to find the right place to take it over anything. Thanks!
